I personally loved my ACMI 74 flying, but each person is different of course. But pay and retirement, plus schedule flexibility here….tou can’t match it.

In fact I did a SAT turn the other day and had a new hire pilot in the jump seat doing his observation ride. He told me there are two classes coming behind him and that would be it for the year. He did also say they are telling him that training would start up again in Jan. So who knows. Just wanted to bring the thread back to the original topic I guess. For the guys with CJOs. Training was awesome. No one here is out to get anyone. Very civilized.

Glad to be here

We are just stretched thin for the summer. Next month, you’ll be wondering if they forgot about you. The imaxers will scoop up a lot of the OT

That sounds awesome! I've had the same experience in CLT. Summer sucks as far as I'm concerned. I'll be very happy if they forget about me.

Only worked 6 days last Sept; hoping to set a new record this year.

Also, willingly going LC as a guinea pig for the RAS rollout...we'll see how it goes.

I think going into RAS in a historically down month when we are already overstaffed is going to give people a false sense of how on this new system is. People who have not experienced the blocked system before is not going to like this more than the old way, not when things return to normal.

I feel ya doing the same. I have vacation this month so we shall see how this all plays out. I'm fairly senior in my bid status too. But I'm expecting kinks.
