So I applied so long ago I don't even remember when I did it; but got an email for an assessment a few days ago and now have an interview scheduled for two weeks from now. I also had interviews scheduled but canceled last march with Frontier and Jetblue.

I am trying to decide which way to go if I am lucky enough to get offered jobs between these. I also have good seniority at what I think is a good regional. So basically it's; Wait at regional commuting one leg but 3 hours until possibly getting call at dream jobs (might never happen), decide between Atlas or potentially Frontier in possibly the same time frame. I've read back through probably TOO many pages of this thread, haha, lots of information on here, but wondering if anyone else here had a similar decision to make and how they felt it worked out for them.

Thanks a lot.

No this is info from the union about currently negotiated items.

I've heard the 18 month thing from multiple sources, including a union person.

Wouldn’t it just suck if a few thousand opinion posts start showing up and #trending on Amazon’s Twitter feed about the whipsaw sub par pay and working conditions that Amazon encourages to squeeze more profits out by stealing from their workforce.
no company likes bad social media press.

The median householdincome in 2019 was $68,703.

You are delusional if you think that you will, or should, garner public sympathy for pilots trying to renegotiate contracts that already have most of them earning much more than the average American family ever hopes to.

That's a great way to get your company to lose a contract. Atlas pilots already did that and started losing tails.

True, they may not like bad press - Historically (any impacts?) I really don’t think they care...

Protest at the right locations, walking around with signs amongst Joe public - doesn’t make sense - know your audience so you know when to open or shut your mouth. Common sense doesn’t seem to be contagious unfortunately.
