We...in my humble opinion are still one of the best ACMI carriers out there. One reason is our Union and contract. ABX pilots gave up alot to keep the company going on its last contract....in doing so we went from around 12-14 aircraft we as a pilot group operate to around 25. With more coming and new routes in the works. We still have lots of growing pains and issues with management as to contract interpretation but show me an airline that does not! Our union works very hard on our behalf and they are relentless on protecting our rights even as the wheels of progress turn slow. We are working 17 days a month vs 15, but new contract after 6 JRM's per year you get the pay and the day back vs 3 per mo or 36 per year before you get the day besides the pay. Usually lots of overtime if you are interested. Not sure hat base pay new-hire is APC has all that info. Every FO on property is at 12 year pay 115K, CPT pay is 160K. I would be surprised if we had any captains make less than 200K. I flew with 1 that said it was his most ever 345k. Schedules are mixed 8 on 8 off etc or full 17 on for the Europe and Asia flying.
