True. There are some short sighted pilots that would pay money out of pocket to fly here in exchange for a 767 type and some heavy time, so it's no surprise that they come here and accept the dismal working conditions that Atlas offers. They get hired at Atlas with a plan to move on as soon as possible and have little regard for the ongoing war between the company and the pilot group. Unfortunately, many of these folks end up needing the protection of the union for contractual violations and leach valuable union resources at a time when the union needs as much time and energy as possible to fight for a new contract.
