I have to say that in the 14 posts that you have put up, you sound more and more like a management puke. And an ignorant management puke at that.

Atlas won't be able to staff any of those Amazon planes if they can't hire and keep pilots on the seniority list. We have about 1500 pilots now and 34 left last month alone. Their decisions are resulting in an unsustainable staffing situation. Suing the pilot group and forcing an even worse contract is only going to exacerbate fouling up the Amazon opportunity.
