Fellow Kalitta Air pilots, as previously stated we are not in the middle of negotiations, we are at the start. Perhaps we can predict the future of these negotiations based on actions by our current leadership team.

As we all know, at K4 the MEC alone agreed with company to increase our retirement contribution to 12% on October 1st. Currently the Atlas Air Pilots are membership ratifying a deal for 16% retirement. Do we see a trend? As the Atlas Air Pilots pursue a path for Industry Standard, our team is focusing on a terrible “Best in Class” strategy….

The time is now to reject this plan for less and demand Industry Standard as our goal.
