It is very personal. The company is definetly trying to strip us of our right to vote on a new contract. They are trying to IMPOSE a new contract through the arbiter. In addition, they are not negotiating in good faith, BUT they are using stall tactics and bad faith negotiations to drag out the process while they use the courts to try to intimidate us.
2. Self inflicted yes.
Utter poppycock. See above
3. Compared to others they’re not the industries finest and that why we’re in negotiations.
Not the industries finest? How about the current contract which was IMPOSED and not voted on is complete garbage. Flying 747s and 767s around the world to hostile locations for commuter wages and benefits is total garbage.

SO WHAT? There is nothing that you or I can do about it. Go fishing. Enjoy life.
FYI....I am glad that you are passionate about your position. I think to have purpose serves a purpose but please don't try and change me. I don't want to be changed nor can I until I want to change. And for now, I like where I am thank you very much and I am asking for you, AND ALL to please respect me and my position and move on. I have heard you and I get it...now hear me and accept that my opinion is mine and you must live with it.

I think it is self inflicted too. A couple of pages back someone made reference to a guy he was flying with that got so spun up about the progress of negotiations that he just tuned the guy out until the guy came back down to earth. YEAH, I call that self inflicted. The company did not make the guy get spun up....He did that all on his own. We own our behaviors and we don't have to resort to spinning out of control insisting that those around us must do the same.

While the fight continues with TiredSoul and Davetastic, the ship continues to take on water. Appearances may look okay from the outside, but things are getting more dire by the minute on the SS Atlas.
As the pilot market continues to tighten, we may be reaching a point of no return. We are hiring inexperienced and/or low-time pilots as this is NOT a destination airline, while we are experiencing high pilot churn, compounded by fleet growth.
The scenario is fast approaching where upgrades happen before a pilot gets seasoned and his/her first officer is close to ATP mins, while the crew compliment is tasked with performing some of the most challenging flying in the world.
Everyone at Atlas sees the problem, including middle management but nobody in upper management will admit it.
Gross negligence, manslaughter...I wonder how the executives will look wearing the color orange?

I agree that we need a contract but DON'T bring contract talk to the cockpit because if a disagreement ensues, barriers go up and CRM breaks down. I call that self inflicted.
