Good idea actually. Get your 777 type and finish OE. Then try to get on with Kalitta. They are adding more 777s to their certificate.
Plus an added bonus, Kalitta pilot group may/will be Voting on a new contract by this Dec.
If approved, Kalitta will be one of the better Cargo airlines to work for (besides UPS & FedEx) the foreseeable future.
When Atlas pilots finally have their contact Arbitrated; maybe the Arbitrator can take a part of Kallita’s new contact
(pay and 401k match), and Atlas work rules, and presto, a new contract for 2022.
No word on scope though.....

^^^ yep. And stay at Atas/Southern until either they can get on at an airline with a better contract (UPS,FedEx, Kalitta) that is good for them and their family or wait and see what happens with the Arbitrated contract by spring of 2022.
