I'm going to tell you how this thread is going to turn out. A while bunch of people are going to tell you to not come here and you're stupid for thinking of coming here. You'll also have a few saying that everyone's situation is different and the place does have some upside to it, in the right situation.

Do what you want and make the best decision you can. Read up, and be informed.

To answer your question, you should be able to get it out of training or shortly there after. Possibly LAS for a while.

Just curious. How’s ACMI?

I don’t live in Denver. I am currently at at Front-in-rear. Thought id love it. I don't. Looking for a move that will have me home more.

What kind of schedules does ACMI have? Is the pay worse than UA flight attendant pay like Frontier? Do you have to pay for your own hotel during training like we do? Does your management hate pilots and try to punish them like they do here? Do you have to stop on the side of the road and play the skin flute on a hobo to get your self respect back after a trip like we do? This is a garbage airline that is struggling to complete a rediculous schedule while understaffed, underpaid and undermined consistently. Oh yeah, I forgot, is the Maintenance at ACMI starting to unravel like it is here?

Wouldn’t ‘playing the skin flute’ be the opposite of getting respect? Assuming you’re a dude.
Unless...You think playing the skin flute will get you respect so you feel the urge to pullover beside homeless people and indulge yourself.
Despicable...

Ok, for the polish cavalry guy,
Dude, they’re gonna love you! Anything else you’ll do for free, make sure you tell them during the interview. I can’t believe your standards for an airline are that you don’t have to pay for a hotel.
Make sure you visit those websites I posted above!
WTF (welcome to Frontier)

Now, party boy,
That’s the joke bro, it is so humiliating and demeaning to work here, that the act of humming a hobo would actually bring you up a level so you feel better about yourself. I couldn’t post the joke as it should be said for fear of censorship, so it gets lost a little. It’s a joke referencing how crappy this airline is, from the ownership/upper management to the operation to the clientele. The stories would make you shake your head. Unfortunately though, the joke is not far from the truth.

100% READY TO STRIKE!!!

ACMI is “awe-ful”??? As in full of awe? Mmmmmm, that sounds good. I’ll have that.

It’s everything you think it might be. I think a guy like you deserves a place at Frontier. To clear up any misunderstandings on your part, that’s a sarcastic insult directed your way.
