I hope domicile style cargo operations would come with Fedex/UPS style pay rates and work rules!

Killing the ACMI lifestyle in the process? Pretty sure 90% of pilots at Omni (or any other ACMI) would NEVER make that trade.

Only a "real man of genius" would want to commute to work.

That was an iPhone typo.... should have said "separate."

although, I have heard rumor that without a decent contract, it will get Shi$$y and crappy.... so maybe the iPhone knew something I didn't....

Correct, If we wanted to be commuters, we'd apply to Fedex and UPS....
