I'm not exaggerating when I say almost everyone, including many many relatively senior captains are polishing their resumes to GET OUT. Atlas doesn't care if their airline is a revolving door of inexperence; it keeps longevity pay low. They want to run it like Mesa. Just don't bother.
Additionally
Company has proposed taking away gateway travel (your ride to work). While not great because you're taxed on it (500+ per mo) it is a nice benefit for those who don't live in base, and those whom live in remote places or other countries.
Company reducing catering to bare minimums. Stations are having to create new low standards for there lowest standards of catering for atlas.
Coffee being pulled from aircraft. 2 Pilots were suspended 30'days for asking for coffee.
Milk was just pulled from catering just this week.
19 days is an absolute reality. If you're on reserve plan on being extended an additional 3 days (allowed by contract)
Company is refusing to negotiate on good faith, will not discuss ANY ECONOMIC IMPACTS, they want no changes or cuts.
Do not believe the lies of HR, they have zero influence or control. They are merely doing their best to fill seats. That's it.
