I will say the flip flop, day to night back
to day flying is taking some time and discipline to adjust to. I’m pretty sure I’m not getting 6-8 hours of deep sleep during those schedule changes.
I am a husband and father, like many pilots in ACMI land. The days away at a time aren’t easy, but it’s not as bad as you think it would be. The best feeling is getting home knowing you have almost two weeks before you even need to pack your bags again. By day 10 or 11 at home, your spouse will wonder when you’re leaving again

Each 28 day cycle has a minimum of 12 days off of which five of those days are IDO “untouchable” days off. Which means, if they contact you, they can ask you to work but you can decline no harm no foul.
The other days off, if you pick up the phone, then they can Junior Man you if they so choose. This is, more or less, standard throughout the industry.
If you’re interested in ATI, the online app window opened today and closes on Dec 11’th.
Hope this helps,

Standard through the industry????
No, standard through the industry is when you are on your days off, you are off. Scheduling can call, beg, and plead, but accepting the trip is completely your prerogative. This for every day off, not just five.
I know I’m critical of ATIs contract, but I promise I’m not trying to be a hater here: junior manning on days off is NOT industry standard. I don’t know of any other airlines (even regionals) that still do that.
