Yes its possible. I a sense that is exactly what they did with the Polar/Atlas contract which is what we have today. Our CEO himself states his goal is amalgamate the contracts together. Whether or not that was the terminology he meant to use. It is what he said. As to the SOC a recent email has stated "due to the unions request the SOC has been put on hold until Jan 2019." More like the union informed them they couldn't merge the two certs unless it was under one CBA. These "businessmen" don't want that. As they put it to a Capt upgrade class when questioned about putting Southern under the current Atlas CBA "Why would I do that. I'm a businessman."

All this information is here in the forum. Some people will say its the worst place on earth. Others will try and sell it as really no so bad when you think of it. But honestly, this is a good group of guys to fly with. This place has tons of potential. But morale is in the #$@#%er. We have all seen the company make many many promises just to drag their feet. They promised to start negotiating this summer. We had a couple ok negotiation sessions just for it to grind to a halt. They show up, listen to what the union says. They say they want current language and can't commit to anything that will cost them money. Its frustrating, and it shows on the line. Everyone's tired of this drivel. I would honestly suggest no one come here for the time being. If your coming here for a type rating. Yay good for you, but you might be impeding our efforts to show management how bad its actually gotten. If you want to make a long term attachment to this place, make sure you do an honest assessment of the company before you commit to the nice shiny jet cause its your "dream job."

As I said before, this place as potential to be an outstanding company to work for. Whether or not management makes that a reality before the company implodes on itself is what that potential hangs on.
