The question that nobody has asked is: What would a future at the Teamsters look like?

My guess is, not so bright. With the predatory Management team in place at Atlas Holdings and Bezos lurking in the wings, I see an upcoming disaster for the Atlas pilot group.

Atlas Mgt, and Bezos are very astute businesspeople (let’s name them the Cinci Mafia) who are very politically connected. They will figure out an iron clad way to manipulate the work force through movement of the assets. You think the RRLA is tough? I suspect you have not seen anything yet.

Polar/Atlas is a sinking ship that will drag ATI and ABX down with them. With the political connections these guys have, you are never going to see an authorized strike on the CVG ramp. Atlas management already has an injunction against it pilots. It is time for us to divorce ourselves from this mess.

I see a future at ALPA as one in which we are not dragged into this mess. Connie acts as support lift for the Cincinnati Mafia when the price suits him, and we get the benefit of the ALPA programs.

If your view is different I would like to read it. After all, I don’t exactly have a crystal ball.
As an Atlas guy I believe that anyone under 55 should get out. We've got some over 55 that it makes sense to leave.

As a Kalitta guy it surprises me that you really believe that your job is more stable than mine. Edit... Just read you're 65. If I were a 12 year Captain under 55, I'd bolt K4 over just the retirement.
