Maybe it was because the ATI pilot group and its MEC had a much better relationship with management.
The ABX pilots stood up to management on many issues over the years and were not afraid to tell management to pound sand. They also negotiated a good contract.
Contrast that to the pathetic contract of ATI. The MEC at ATI saw this as an opportunity to kiss management ass and gain an advantage. So they refused to back their fellow pilots.
Did you ever wonder why flying was taken away from ABX and given to ATI? It was a reward for stabbing their fellow pilots in the back.
It was all done with the blessing of ALPA.
