This contract must have major, notable, greater, prominent, significant, improvements in compensation, LTD/STD, scheduling, language, sick pay accrual, vacation accrual, vacation bidding, commute policies, sick policies, etc., etc., etc. This MEC and negotiations team desperately needs to be "negotiating" high gains at little to no cost. If we are constantly being compared to Giant our new contract should blow their (arbitrated) contract out of the water. We are 1/3 the size and carry only a fraction less than Atlas. That means we work way harder to earn each and every penny paid out in our paychecks.

But I'm afraid that even if this negotiations team hits a home run, without sCrew Resources (Crew Rescheduling) being wrangled in and put back under control of the DO, the pilot hemorrhaging will continue. I'm sure the almighty bean counters have crunched the numbers. And it's more cost effective to have a revolving door rather than to retain pilots. I'm not sure when or how it started but there is definitely an atmosphere of retaliatory efforts on CR's behalf. I feel as if my boss is Alicia. Not the CPO or the new DO. Come on Yipsters, get your act together and make Kalitta a destination for quality talent.

And get a God Damn crew travel department back in here. And hire a consultant today to teach you folks how to communicate for F#@&sake.
