Spoken like a true company man!

Kalitta would remain plenty profitable even if you had 18 hour duty days. Atlas certainly does.

And if we were to carry the duty day argument to its logical conclusion, during their next contract negotiations airline X pilots would accept a 32 hour duty day with a six man crew to remain competitive then airline Y would accept a 36 hour duty day with an 8 man crew, etc. etc.

Then maybe airline Z pilots decide that in order for their airline to remain competitive they should accept coach seats for all dead head travel.

It is creating a race to the bottom.

Insisting on working conditions and pay that are better than other airlines is the only raise the bar for the entire industry.
