I would think that the Kalitta schedule would be the one thing that Atlas pilots would want more than anything else in the Kalitta contract.
When you say that Atlas wants to give you "Kalitta Plus $1" do you think that if they forced that on you that you'd at least get the 17 day schedule? That would at least be a significant improvement from 20 days with imputed income on travel.
At Kalitta you will absolutely work less days. 15-17 days sounds correct. If we end up in Arbitration with the "Kalitta Plus $1 Contract" I'm expecting that I would work an extra day a month than I currently do- at least. I do think we'd keep Gateway in that scenario but I'd work 19 days a month instead of 18. It works out to be an average of 18 days a month when I drive and 19 days a month when I have to use Gateway. All of this is pure speculation though. We do know that the contract will be worse if the company wins that law suit.
