Not too thrilled by a 6 figure paycut going to the regionals, but if I have to I will. I fly as a day rate contractor and work an average of 25 days a month. I'm always gone from my wife and kids so something has got to change.
The reason I originally poked the beehive is the level of venom displayed by some of the users on this board. It's pathetic and tiring to sift through. I hope some of these people aren't actually as miserable in their real lives as they are in their APC persona.

Airline HR types have convinced themselves that 121 experience is somehow significant, even though in my experience, 121 flying is the easiest work I've ever done.

ACMI can be a career destination, or a stop along the way. There's people that make a career of flying feeder freight in a caravan, and whether they are military evaluator pilots or high school dropouts it makes no real difference. It doesn't here either. I'm sure it ticks some of you off that your career destination is considered a stepping stone to some people, but it is what it is.

Kalitta
Omni
ABX/Atlas
Miami Air/Western Global
ATI
Southern (hired through Atlas...don't do it...tell them you want an Atlas class date and wait if you have to).
The are quite a few aviation organizations hiring that are better than ATI (for most pilots). A few outside of ACMI that come to mind are Mountain Air Cargo, Northern Air Cargo, Raven (ANC)...

Is ABX really up next to Kalitta / Omni?
