Capital 727 guys might be going to indoc but that doesn't mean they are going to end up on the 727.

The reason for all this is because Capital pilots will cost substantially less than ATI pilots of the same vintage after the lists are merged. ATSG is doing everything possible to ensure that they end up with maximum ATI guys in the furlough pool and minimum or zero Capital guys in the furlough pool after the lists are integrated. To do this, they are trying to delay reducing Capital pilots and delay recalling ATI pilots until after the lists are integrated.

At some point, ATSG needs to eliminate piltos based on the loss of the 727 and increase pilots to cover the new work out of Jakarta. If they wait until after the lists are integrated, they can use the excess Capital guys to cover the new work acquired by ATI. This way, they eliminate the need to recall furloughed ATI guys and achieve their goals.

ATSG rewards Capital guys for working cheaper and punishes ATI guys for having 12 to 15 years of longevity and loyalty with ATSG companies.
