It would be a monumental undertaking but one worth the effort imo. The collective union groups would have to bury the past and focus on the future.
Am I dreaming or can a concept like this work? otherwise its a lost battle and each pilot group is ticked at the other. With FedEx dropping Amazon, the lift is going to the other acmi carriers, but the wages are not. Its a win for Amazon. (Cheaper lift than FedEx)
Please chime in with your thoughts.
Thanks
I am "legacy" Atlas (in other words, pre-Atlas/Polar merger).
I would give something like this my tentative support. My full support would depend on exactly which personalities begin to emerge as "leaders". Character is critical, as I don't need to explain.
Problem is, there are so many "characters" in this industry.
Someone should try to organize it. Someone with some vision.
