No heavy jet scope and narrow body scope that expires!
Imagine working for an airline that has a retirement that is 10% less than nearly every carrier in the US. Imagine everytime you go into negotiations management threatens that you fly on the cheap or else your job disappears just like the regionals!
Then management comes on these boards and tries to paint a pretty picture of this great airline! Yep that's ATI!
The strike did happen and ATI crossed! ATI opposed a single carrier to stop the wipsaw. And ATI PILOTS voted yes to an agreement that was much less that even OMNIs TA at the same time. If you're seeking a job do you research. If you think Amazon will save the day, Google and see that they estimate 7 years to build out. Imagine being paid 10% less and 10% less in retirement for 7 years!!! And working 16 days in a row, with less days off than every airline in the world except maybe a few!
It's comical how some get on there and defend the worst acmi contract instead of trying to improve it.
Well said!! Plus imagine that if at any time during the lapse of those 7 years if the economy tanks ATSG management will want more concessions from you. So you are already at the bottom and will have to give up more. Not a good place to risk your younger years. Don’t go there!
