The pilots of American Airlines were willing to stand up for themselves when the time was right. They were organized, determined, and willing to do whatever it took to accomplish their goals.
We only get what we demand and negotiate. Early-opener negotiations start in 3.5 years and some of us are preparing now.
As far as my previous comparison, I was comparing Atlas end of contract pay versus Delta, United, and American end of contract pay. These end of contract dates all fall within a year or so of each other.

It's well worth it to work here. I'm just pointing out that if what day someone begins work is more important than the flying they do and the adventure of this business then I can already see dark clouds on the horizon for them.

BTW, once you get to your base, or elsewhere if you are beginning or ending an assignment, you are entitled to a (company-paid) hotel, and if you are on R2 (Reserve away from home), you are also entitled to per diem, and "CRT" (Calculated Rig Time).
So...here is the bottom line...
No crashpads at Atlas, and
No jumpseating at Atlas to get to or from work assignment.

Depends on the base. On the 767, you'll rarely pass through JFK. CVG/LAX 767, you may well begin/end every trip in base.
