I'm fully aware retirement wasn't a priority of K4 pilots, but there were a slew of things DW took issue with that your group had zero problem with. Retirement was used by me as the glaring example. My understanding is that you wanted a Rate that was branded as "FedEx's Old Contract". That's all you really cared about at that time.

FACT - DW held back that contract in an attempt to get you more with regard to work rules... Meaning shorter duty days... etc...

Since DW wanted more for your contract than your pilot group did how did he hold you back? If memory serves correct about 90% of yall were yes votes. Connie could've had you for far less if it weren't for DW. Yall wanted the Rate and you wanted it then after a long hard fight.

Best of luck in the next negotiation. ACMI is far behind the rest of the Industry and I sincerely hope yall are ready to push to fix these problems. Atlas may be counting on you to get gains because I agree with yall that there is a statistical chance you get a contract first. I tell people to go to K4... It's a better deal.
Worst retirement that you know of? You're not looking at the regionals then! Charter? Corporate? Your own? So we cap out at 10k a year on 5%. You can't hit that until you're over 200k. How many captains do you have over 200k? I'd say most, if not every single one of ours are there; if not they're close.
