Why are we asking these questions, etc on this forum that was meant for exchanging information about hiring at Atlas?

Did they not issue you a CBA to you? Sorry to be so harsh, but please do some digging in the CBA, or if that is not convenient, write to the Stewards, or even ask on the Pilots' Union site.

Knowing the CBA and living by it is not only a necessity, but helps us all make better decisions every time we show up for a trip. It is high time to get to know this CBA that has been in place for almost two years...I realize many here have only been at Atlas for a short time, but knowing the CBA is actually a very minimum for this (or any union or airline) job.
