And this is the Brutal truth.


Brutally done! Very nice! It won’t matter. He still blames us for the strike... His decisions led to that.... His stubbornness, and intention to “not encourage bad behavior”. Rick and Starky had two separate settlement agreements to prevent that... he over-ruled.. He may never accept his culpability.... nobody at ATSG has ever accepted responsibility for anything. Point fingers and blame... small minds.

Their hatred of us is so universally manifested at every level of the organization that they don’t even recognize it as a primary motive for their stupidity.

The greatest cargo airline opportunity in 40 years, Amazon, falls at their feet, and they fight, and bicker, violate the contract, and try to take more from the pilots! Of course! What should we expect from a management team that has NO VISION!? Have they ever looked forward and projected significant market factors in the past? The pilot shortage was no surprise! Looking forward, having a great contract could ensure ABX’s ability to provide for AMZN but small minded crap contracts, and whip sawing, ensures ATSG’s failure. Our P/E is 60. AAWW’s is 7.... how long after we continue to shrink and lose CMI revenue does ATSG stock dive? It’s very likely a $2.00 stock!

I would have liked you to call out David Soaper! A proven two time loser that couldn’t create a profit with bankruptcy contracts at Comair or Southern. That PUTZ told us in CRM, February 2017, that he doesn’t care if ABX succeeds or fails, because HE gets paid either way! He continues to threaten to shut us down. We have 5 airplanes that are not being utilized (20 % of the fleet). Ridiculous! If you were an uneducated landscaper, common sense wouldn’t let you have 20% of your capital assets sitting idle!

He has no clue about what’s going on in the pilot job front, the quality of the guys we’ve gotten most recently is scary. Atlas just bent an airplane with an incompetent new hire, and its bound to happen here.

It’s obvious that his sole qualification to become airline management was marrying into the Comair (Muller) family. He’s using the same discernment at ABX by hiring friends and family. F.........is a family friend, has multiple alcohol related arrests, and would not even qualify to be a pilot here, because he can’t go to Canada! And he’s telling me what I’m worth?! He’s gonna save the company by taking away my lunch! They have no clue how to run this operation.
Their contract proposals are ridiculous, he’s trying to be a hero, refusing to accept the true costs of the Kalitta contract... fewer days of work a year, lost productivity with home basing, NO JRMing! They have to staff properly (what a concept). Soaper wants to give us Kalitta rates, but nothing else. Greedy, and stupid! We need a contract that can attract and retain pilots. He just doesn’t get it!

The two of them have chased out any talent that we once had. Woodford and Forsyth gone! The best of our new hires gone! The frustration level is demonstrated with our collapsed on-time performance. How the hell is Soaper still employed? Shocking!

You also failed to point out that this pilot group wants nothing more than to be successful, look forward to coming to work, and flying our asses off for a company that appreciates us. It would take very little to change our attitudes toward this place. We still have the express mentality that can wow our customers. Just have to get that jackass out of here. Hete, has the smarts to get it back on track, he just has to stop seeing red, when he looks at the pilots... OH! and merge the dan airlines, and clear out that useless and unsafe ATI culture.
