A) Regionals
B) ACMI with a foul work environment
C) ULCC
For me, none of the above. ATI is actually a good fit for me. Is for many others too. If purple or brown never call, I’m in a good spot for now.

Is it perfect? No, but is it a decent place to be? I would say so

Minimum is house paid off, no debt. I can switch roles with the female unit, I'll be a stay at home dad, she goes back to work(in case of lost medical or a great depression in aviation).
Bottom line is that even at an ACMI, having to go to a regular job like everyone else for a tiny percentage of the pay for 10 times more work would be a devestating realization to my psyche. I have a poor track record in that world.
