If this goes through, the losers will be the ATI guys who lose seniority and the ATI guys who lose jobs.
Everybody, including Cappy guys loose seniority when this happens. Why is everyone still saying that ATI are the only ones loosing seniority. I can't figure out why the ABXers are the main ones complaining, especially since ATSG is supplementing their paychecks. Besides, they'll be recalled to ABX sometime in the future anyway. I agree, there has to be a perk thrown out to the ATI pilots. I don't blame them for not wanting to vote for it. It's too bad mgmt refused to open up other areas of the contract for renegotiation. Maybe if the JCBA could have been improved a little (work rules, quality of life issues, etc), possibly more ATI pilots would be inclined to vote yes.
