I don't dislike the job. I love going to work at Atlas, but what I presented were some rough statistics on how we're compensated vs how much work we do. I don't see anyone refuting my assertion of what our contract is.

Another way of saying "It's a business for them and I have a family to think about" is maybe putting it this way... Unless they fix their contract many of the young FOs will leave IF offered a job that offers far less work for more pay and retirement. I haven't been offered that job but like most FOs there's going to be a good chance that happens. When/If it does I'll be gone. I've yet to hear about one of our FOs being offered a job at one of the companies that I mentioned that turned it down. I'm not bitter at all and neither were most of the guys who left. I love Atlas, but I'll be gone as soon as I'm offered that job, unless they decide they care about us enough to compensate us fairly.

If the company looked at my job as anything more than a number our contract would be fixed tomorrow so that people would stop leaving. Leadership flat out doesn't care. They'd rather see people like me leave and have themselves make more money. They've stated to our FOs who went to Purchase last Spring that "They have a stack of resumes a mile high at HR." To me that says what all of us know. Things won't change unless airplanes stop moving. They only care about me leaving if so many of us leave that they can't keep up with training. I'm stating here that I love the job but since they value me so little, I'll make the best decision for my family if/when an Industry Standard opportunity presents itself.
