[QUOTE=DC8DRIVER;2410227]The reality is that Atlas does plenty of ad hoc charters into far away places. Kalitta doesn't have a monopoly on those trips.

The other reality is that if our pilot groups don't work together, management will squash us like bugs. Negotiating contracts with provisions that undercut each other can ONLY work to management's advantage.

You can try to justify it with all the examples you want, but the reality remains that unless we have a coordinated strategy, we end up working against each other. 8 /QUOTE]

When you get great health care and lose imputed income, then come and talk to me about the race to the bottom. Didn't see those things addressed in your last contract. Our negotiations committee had to address them in ours because our company put them on the table briefly. Guess what? Our committee overcame those issues. Suck it up cupcake and stop trying to blame Kalitta for your negotiations committee poor strategy. Our men got it done in spite of interference from DW. You cannot seem to get it done, with his support. You are working with a company that is swimming in debt, our guys worked with a company that is well funded and private. Still you cannot seem to get it done. Perhaps you should fire your committee and hire ours😋
