Sure, this TA doesn't benefit the Atlas pilots but it doesn't benefit the Kalitta pilots either. Those of us making negative remarks about the TA do not live in a vacuum. Please compare the details of your TA with the CBAs of American, Delta, United, FedEx, UPS, and Southwest. This is the TA grading standard that the Kalitta pilots should be using and it will be the grading standard that the Atlas pilots will be using on their own TA, when that time comes.
The only reason a pilot group's CBA is sub-standard at this point is because they allow it to be (this statement not only applies to Kalitta, but Atlas as well).
