Something to keep an eye on
Looking further into this announcement, I saw something that could be not so comforting for the Atlas Air pilot group collectively.
One of the Board Members for SAI is one J. Ornstein (Mesa Air CEO). From personal experience I have seen his work and philosophy toward pilots first hand. In addition, from speaking with peers and reading, I understand that the SAI cba is not a stellar one. Obviously, I don't know how much direct influence he has or had, but it only takes one carcinogen to spread the negative waves throughout the upper echelons.
Again, I don't know how this will translate in the new working group or even if it will be a factor? I am not sure how or even if the BOD of SAI will get a place with Atlas or not if it comes to that?
I don't want to spread "doom and gloom", just wanted to point out this information so the group has more insight of what potentially lies ahead.
