I don’t see Atlas pilots ever being paid on par with brown or purple, but they should be making at least what Kalitta pilots make. Hopefully the legacies start hiring full speed and high attrition at Atlas returns your negotiating leverage.
I'm simply responding to the comment that described AAWW as a "relatively small operation".
The numbers objectively don't agree with that comment.
Atlas hasn't been considered a "start up" in over 20 years.

Perhaps the next ten years will dictate differently, but the precedence has been set unfortunately.
