What little leverage the union had thru attrition is gone.

In the meantime Atlas management will cry poor and hold out their hand for some of that government cheese as freight rates soar and they're compensated at a level higher than the legacy carriers CEO's. You won't see any AAWW execs volunteering to cut their pay to "share the pain".
If we're broken up and sold to Amazon which looks more likely with each passing month, those coming here for refuge and the rest of us will join the thousands of furloughed looking for a job with Prime Air or any pilot job.

it looks like it is a company out of Boise that doesn’t seem to be associated with Amazon.
