Any updates on the Contract negotiations? Rumor has it no training classes until the end of the year which works for me, not sure I wan't to start if negotiations are heated since I've got a decent paying job right now.
I've been here 3 years. It's been the same ol story. I was very optimistic a contract was in the very near future.
Now that I'm in the trenches, I don't see a contract ever happening.
Atlas will simply right size, out source, use OT, and any other means besides paying us a livable wage.
You see, we aren't like a fed, delta, or even a regional.
Atlas has the abilty to our source their entire operation. They are simply a holding company "much like Starbucks or McDonald's. Hence the name "AAWWH"
If we can't fill a class, they simply make a call, have some rogue Asian carrier move the freight, they make some and so does Atlas. Still making a profit, and no need to hire more bodies.
A new hire today will never see -400 captain inside of 12 years. And possibly never see 767 captain inside of 6 years.
We have hired a ton of bodies in the last 4 years.
Be careful what you wish for. Flying around the world on min rest, or sitting R3 at the dirty DHL hub.
Gitty up.
