How this gets morphed into you thinking that K4 Pilots do not adamantly support the well being of ALL pilots just reeks of immaturity on your part.

Nobody cares.

I'd go to K4 to get to FedEx or UPS... I'd probably need 1000 Turbine PIC and a Degree before I started there though. It is a very good stepping stone. If you show up without the PIC you'll spend 12 years there...

Now ya'll are super happy for your new DH rules saying it is industry leading. Should I be the prick that says it's still not at the level of what Evergreen had? All international DH was business class regardless of length or legs.
A commuter? Every former commuter pilot at K4 is looking at you as if you just dressed up as Hitler for Halloween.
Your first year FOs are breaking $140k making $111 an hour with a 64 hour guarantee? With no rig does the FAA know they're flying 1261 hours a year?

If I were at K4 and were a Captain I'd leave for most of those listed in that top 12.

As a former Atlas and now a big 2 cargo guy I'd love to show them my 2020 W2... AND Retirement. Maybe some of them would start to realize how bad Connie treats them. I've averaged around 4 days of work a month this Summer and this month I'll clear $20k this month easy... Maybe even $25k.

If K4 had offered an interview last year I wouldn't have considered it.

Actually you cost yourself money by demanding a vote on an obsolete pay rate, obsolete work rules and the worst retirement I know of other than a few of the commuters. That's on you.

I don't think 140K is happening as much for new guys...not this year at least. And I have no dog in this fight...I have very little airline experience so don't know what the rest of the world does but for example: last month I came in with 94 hours credit with less than 50 block. The rest of the credit comes from reserve periods on layover, dead heads, maybe some CBTs a few times a year. So it's not like we're working our butts off by any means.

I hate the bickering back and forth about contracts/companies...it's always so extreme opposite ended and petty. "You work 24 hour days" "I work four days a month and make 25 grand". I have close friends at every major, LCC, and box carrier....I know the score.

Atlas has all Intntl trips DH Biz class or better in our CURRENT contract...
and Biz Class if the Duty Day is over 16 hours if it's a domestic DH, and a max Duty Day of 20 hours, if DH at the end of the Duty Day. You can extend your Duty Day over 20 hours if you are DH to your gateway/Alternative Travel destination at the end of a pattern, only.
