Nothing quite like sitting around a hotel room for 2 days straight for $2/hr... maybe you can pick the bed bugs out of the mattress and invent a new delicacy?
That must be way better than making 500k/yr to fly a 7-3 12-14 days per month.
BUT, your airplane is bigger than mine, I'll give you that much.

The ACMI lifestyle is for a small segment of the pilot population. I'm glad there are people hungry for the adventure of ACMI but there definitely is a 3 year breaking point. At 3 years you either love it, or hate it.

I agree. I did ACMI for almost 9 yrs. Two weeks on two weeks off. I like it and thought I'd wouldn't like the airline schedule but after a yr I was able to start getting blocks of time off in a row. Up to 10 days sometimes and now being gone for a 4 day seems brutal.
The pace sure is quicker. No more sitting in hotels for days but then again there's no more sitting in hotels for days when I could be home instead.
To each their own

It was mostly a joke. I didn't know any hotel info had been disseminated to the masses and I read everything they send out. I'm going to very closely watch the LAX domicile and if the seniority picture is right for me I'll bid it.
Here are my actual HI flying concerns, it's such a big focus that other stuff is being neglected. We're pulling out of MEX, how can we not make that work? Why can't we take foreign currency yet? Why have so many of our competitors been able to find Canada yet we can't. Why can't we track bags properly? When are we going to fix our internet? These are all things I never hear about, yet the company pushes out plenty of HI news.
