In today's environment, with several of those ACMI lots having new contracts in place is the ULCC still a 'better' option for someone not anchored to any particular place in the country?
Thanks
Depends on the specific companies, but generally for pay and retirement contributions, ULCC wins. You’ll find outliers (guys from an ACMI who work hard to support both their primary and shadow families, or a Captain from a U/LCC who drops down to min credit every month) from each group. Two very different types of flying though.

In the last 3 years I've probably moved up at least 10% in the company, along with getting what I want from bidding and or drop / swap. About 20% pay increase, and about another 5% in 6 months. A possible jetBlue merger in the future, however a lot more can change in 3 more years.

Thanks,
I am looking up some benchmark numbers on the Aerocrewnews website (https://aerocrewnews.com/acn-grid/) and it they are up-to-date and accurate it seems all the ULCC and Kalitta offer the best overall package for the first 1-2 years at least.
Anyone can confirm these parameters are credible?
Thanks

I can tell ya right now that website isn't up to date. I just looked at an Atlas comparison and the info seems pre contract.

It's post contract info. Just hasn't been updated with the yearly increases.
