I think for some information, one could read/compare/contrast the contact study that 1224 put out. Read other unions' contract studies (they are out there if you want to find them). Then, talk to your friends at DAL, UAL, AA, FEDEX, whoever, to confirm the contract studies and compare QOL, pay, retirement, etc.... Or you can do the simple math on the Legacy retirements vs seniority progression and zero growth (?) in the next ten years vs. Atlas. Then you might be able to see some of the reasons for wanting to leave. Or you can ask one of our peers who has gone through an exit interview (at Atlas), or someone who knows about the exit interviews (internally) why people are leaving. Last I heard from an internal source was: 1. Retirement pay. 2. Pay. 3. Seniority means little. Possibly swap seniority with QOL, I can't remember.

If you do all of this objectively and still love Atlas...stay or try to come here!
