Is it me , or is it absolutely disingenuous bordering on blatant deceit that the statements from both Atlas and ATSG blame the Union leadership for a failure to reach a respectable and fair CBA ? Have management themselves had their terms , conditions and pay increase in the last 4 years ? Undoubtedly. Then why they hell are they being allowed to get away with such greedy and unfair behaviour ?
I seem to remember hearing of similar utter intransigent behaviour on behalf of management negotiators at hotel meetings with union reps and then pilots being ordered back to work ( by a local Cincinnati judge ) under misleading statements such as being labelled an " essential service ? "
Your anger needs to be directed at replacing the useless RLA , ( politically ) the local judiciary ( under corporate influence ) and these crooked and greedy airline managers and owners. Good luck.
