They've fought as hard as they can for an Industry Standard contract. Their pilots want more than to vote for a 5% contribution into a 401k and then to blame it on former leadership.... After begging to vote yes for that pitiful retirement.
It looks to me like all that hard work is paying off too. Atlas management can't blame the Union for the drug out contract negotiations every 3 months while they hemorrhage money and the stock becomes worthless. Eventually Management can break up the company or pay their pilots but as long as their pilots are solid it doesn't really matter who their Union is.
As long as other ACMI carriers continue to accept unpaid 24-7s and run around with "Prime Air" bag tags they'll continue to get compensated like minor league pilots.
