But this was the case before you left republic. It helps to reach out to others that have gone through the transition.
I miss doing day trips out of DCA too but some things will always be the same in republic. Mainly, you are at the mercy of your major parters.

Anyone else ever been in this position or know of people that have come back from the ACMI world? Would I be making a mistake?
Thanks for any input.
