There was a time- there was no OT. Maybe a few trips a month. Atlas greatly got behind the power curve and has spent millions in OT and other deals with private jet transportation.

With a new CBA we are now treading water and attrition is slowing. I remember a time not to long ago OT rained down like crazy, you could cut deals left and right, as they just wanted the metal moved. “ 8 days of pay for 4 days of working. Show me with a 36 hour layover in base before heading home- sure whatever you like “

I would argue hiring and attrition will balance out and it will give our airline time to right the ship.

More and more I’m counting on less hours a month. 150 was the norm.

It wouldn’t surprise me to see the majority of us on 64 hours, with the senior guys and gals collecting 100, covering the slack.

As OT slows the senior people will notice this and be more inclined to pick any OT trip, over picking and choosing their trips as in years past. This will grind the OT to become even more senior.

No one comes to Atlas for the money, they come for a job.

Plan on 64 and 17 a month.
