Wonder what would happen if you missed your flight? It’s been done before.....with better seats.

Default WHO Officially Recognizes Workplace Burnout a

http://ohsonline.com/articles/2019/0...menon.aspx?m=1

From the article (and raise your hand if, as an ACMI pilot, you've experienced the following):

"Burnout, according to WHO, is classified by three factors:
  • feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion;
  • increased mental distance from one’s job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one’s job;
  • and reduced professional efficacy."

I think just about every job has this, ACMI’s or whoever you work on Earth. No huge surprise. It really shouldn’t have to be like working in the coal mines for 30 years till you die. Airlines that are most successful have schedules that suit everyone and different planes. Its like what people say about Southwest...8 legs a day flying the 73 for the rest of your life.

Actually there was one other thing....with all the additional flying in KILN and all the extra pilots...I heard they were going to raise the prices in the vending machines 5 cents for sodas.

I really don't know why they bother wasting resources on stuff like that. Outside of a relatively small group of pilots, namely those of us directly represented in that site, nobody cares. That much should be clear by now.

Exactly........
You also have to wonder..if it's that painful to go to work why would you?
It is what it is.....until it isn't!

Working for ACMIs is not bad at all. All of the pussies out there have no idea. We work, in my case, 16 days a month, maybe fly 7 of those days. So tough. Then I get to home to my family for two weeks every month. Do I have to non-rev to get to a base or crash pad, nope, paid ticket on day 1, then rest period, then for the next two weeks fly maybe 7-8 legs, with travel to amazing destinations. If it was easy, everybody would do it. Man up, quit being a bunch of pussies.
