There are no new work rules, no rig, no min day, no new scheduling language, no retirement, healthcare is up, and the list goes on.
Next your gonna say but it's "ACMI" you think our customers or our contractors charge us any less?
We were not "X" legacy carrier, so we can't compare us vs. them. Actually we make larger margins per airframe then they do.
If they're all in and our union is led to believe there's nothing left on the table, then to the picket line we go to get what we deserve. Clearly mgmt is interested in taking it that far.
Multiple legacy, and national carriers have all achieved industry leading contracts and it was actually done professionally.
K4 is actually a great company with great employees. We just need new mgmt.
