With that said, I am not demeaning the ATI pilot group as a whole by any means. I know many fine folks over there and they do a good and safe job....but not all. The problem of rapid upgrades can cause issue at almost any airline, most airlines do not upgrade so quickly (except the undesirable ones or regionals...) Of course this is ACMI so that speaks for itself already.

And this is one of the reasons why I would say, similar to the Atlas MEC did in their own regard, the place is an accident waiting to happen. Not so much an *if* rather than a *when*.

One that I know had 15000 PIC Jet....upgraded after 6 mos....a friend of my was flying with him. Lots of ACMI cargo time. Not to many 23 yr olds (other than the CEO's kid) in line for early upgrades. As far as ACMI goes from my experience at 2 pax carriers it's a whole different animal. Non precision approaches without GPS after a 4 hr flight with map shift...pouring rain on an ungrooved rwy reported as dry in a language you dont understand to an airport in the jungle of South America. Of course this is ACMI as you said. Nobody holds your hand like the pax carriers do.
