Latest scope negotiations were supposed to last two days, but the company only showed for 4 hours. The executives demanded no scope language that would hinder fragmentation of Atlas/Southern or any dry leasing plans. In other words, farming out airplanes without the pilots. A blank check to repeat the Stanstead Atlas Air Crew Services offshoring scheme of ten years ago; Transfer flying and hire lower paid European pilots, give them super seniority for upgrades and get the ability to downgrade and furlough Atlas/Southern pilots simultaneously. Think about that as you’re signing the application. Scope was one of the few articles that went to arbitration during the Atlas/Polar merger. Your journey towards 1000 TPIC here may come to a sudden end after the arbitrator hands us our next JCBA.
