At the same time, I certainly don't blame you guys for taking advantage of the opportunities that are available today. Just be aware of what you guys are getting into.
Fair enough but I have more than paid my dues in aviation (done all of the above you mentioned) and I to want a better job and QOL.
Im under no illusion that there is a lot wrong at Atlas at present but there is a lot wrong with aviation worldwide...Period!!!
I can think of so many unhappy pilot groups here and abroad that it makes my head spin. In saying that one has to take an opportunity when presented with it.
Hopefully the CBA is negotiated in good faith over the next 12 months but I certainly wont sit in the cockpit *****ing and moaning about it annoying every other Atlas pilot as I was fully aware of what I got myself into.
The situation is what it is but we still need jobs and money to support our families.
