Atlas! Don't think it was not appreciated either. If you think ANYONE at K4 has any problems with any line pilot at Atlas you are sadly mistaken. That statement wasn't about individuals it was a statement about competing companies. There many former K4 pilots at Atlas.
OCSKYGUY pointed out a while ago, and then again and again, that this is not about duty days, insurance, trips, profitability. It is about giving one person the power to interfere with legitimate negotiations, while having a HUGE conflict of interest in the outcome.
Look back at my previous posts when our negotiations were on. I had the same concerns then. Fell of deaf ears. Now we look into leaving, and lots of discussion and opinions. Glad to have this board to do this on.
I want nothing but success in contract negotiations for all pilots. We have been waiting many years for the current environment. However as you will see if you are not Atlas, the deck is very much stacked against you. For what it is worth, Dan Well is doing a great job for Atlas pilots. It is just hurting the rest of us.
Please try to not focus on the butterflies so much when there is such a large elephant in the room.
