It is about as good as it gets at an ACMI carrier, the more senior you are, the better it can get/be, like most anywhere.

Minimum 12 days off AT HOME per month, unless you consent to less, and some folks do, for which they are well compensated. Working on a day off usually yields 8.4 hours/24hr period, or better, when the THP rig is coupled with pay for a day off not received. Lines vary, split lines are usually the exception.

Almost always in coach internationally, I persoanlly did over 200,000 miles last year, and I only commuted 9 months last year. The other 3 months I operated out of my home city, or rode a company airplane from stateside to overseas. Since Jan 1 this year, I've done 42,000 miles on DL and 6000 on the Star Alliance. We have a lot of business in the middle east right now, so that's >16k /round trip, that's why most guys and the company don't prefer split lines. Short notice tickets tend to be in higher fare classes, so upgrading them with your miles or certificates is easier, but it can be a crap shoot. I've crossed the Atlantic 4 times this year in Coach and 4 in Biz-ness, none of which were at company expense. My wife really enjoys using the reward ticktes I earn for her, and if momma's happy, everybody's happy
Guarantee is 65, reserve guarantee is 76, reserve lines tend to go a little senior, most months.
Fly Safe.
