Default Left for an ACMI, thinking of coming back

As the title states I left RPA for an ACMI. I thought my family and I could handle the schedule but unfortunately it has not worked out that way. I have apps out everywhere but no bites. When I left, I lived in base as a RSV CA, I would be able to hold a line now. I also satisfy all requirements of the CBA for a potential rehire.

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.

Wise man once told me to never go back no matter how much you regret it as you’ll be ....going backwards.
Stick it out till you move forward and upwards.
I’m thinking there may be a little delay with this Corona thing.
Maybe you’ll get some calls a little later in the year.

You could go back at your previous seniority?
Serious question. I don’t know how the CBAs work in that regard.

Only if you were separated from the company less than 12 months. If it’s more than 12 months your seniority is adjusted and ends up being about half of what you left with.

I’ve heard from somebody else trying to do this same thing awhile back that the company is not honoring this provision in the contract anymore. He was told to apply as a new hire. Not sure where the union stands on this or whether there’s a grievance or not.

Again to me it’s the wisdom of going back to where you came from.
It will always be different from what you left.
United is already offering a month off at reduced min garantee so I’m thinking we may have a little dip in the industry.
Sit tight and wait for this to blow over.

It also has to be considered moving up, not a side-step. i.e., you can't leave to take a job at Trans States and then ask to come back and keep your seniority because they close down. Same goes for other Regionals, foreign airlines, and I believe Part 91/135 too. You are welcome to reapply, but you lose your seniority.
