In todays market there is no excuse for these bonehead decisions.
For those of you that are on the fence as to which way to vote, pay attention to this post. K4 is being considered the red headed step child because of our duty day, and now other carriers must raise their duty day to be competitive.
The operative word here is competitive, in that they are our competitors, do we really want our competitor to dictate to us? It has been said many times but it is worth repeating, what works for Atlas does not work for Kalitta.
To be honest we do not like the long duty any more than you do, but it is necessary for our operation.
