No idea if this makes any sense- but our new contract is pretty sweet and attrition has slowed considerably in the last few months. This month for FO and Cap we have almost every day 200 to 350 percent pick up open time trips. Big money this month for us.
IF there were a merger in the future, it will be interesting for sure. At this stage pure speculation.
Atlas is a good place to work- but not a carrier (retirement needs big time adjustments like 15% dc, ect)
I hear great things about Sun Country and their pilots seem pretty happy too. Plus they are ALPA
Things definitely could get very interesting next year to say the least. The sale has to go through first before anything happens to Atlas- good or bad.
