Yes, pilots are needed to fly and generate revenue and DAL, SWA understand this and want to keep the printing press going. They are companies that have proven by real action (DAL/NWA merger and subsequent huge contract(s), plus profit sharing, SWA being one of the highest if not the highest 737 operators in the USA, plus massive profit sharing over decades) that they understand the downfalls of ****ing off a pilot group. Im not saying these groups haven't fought for these things, because they have, but if you can't see how reckless Atlas management team is being, take another look at the facts. Atlas, and my old shop RAH, don't understand how or why they need to keep the money printing press going. They are garbage operators who DO NOT understand these simple business rules when DAL, SWA, FEDEX, UPS, AA etc... DO! RAH did have somewhat of a BS furlough after hiring a freaking ton and kind of re-wrote the book on how to mess with a pilot group (they employed F&H too). Im not saying Atlas will furlough, no. Im saying this sinking ship has no direction and I might be willing to bet "furlough to mess with us" sounds like a good idea to them.

 

Can you expand on what this means. Who proposed what to who and when?

 

Got this from a friend..... somebody from K4 posted some info for new hires candidates ....

Will be helpful if a K4 driver give some intel about this..

 

Completely fuzzy, can't read. Might just be me!

Holy buckets! Congrats to our Kalitta brethren, you guys have had a long slog of it. I can feel Purchase cringing from here....time to pay the piper Atlas

 

Any 401K improvements?

 

Wow...just compare those rates with ours. Good for Kalitta!

 

Those rates and max 16 days per month and their union turned it down so they'll hopefully get something better. It'll be awesome if we start losing pilots to Kalitta, maybe that will make purchase change their tune since they don't seem to care about losing pilots to all the majors.

 

I'm K4 alumni, I'm proud of those guys they have fought the good fight : ) Good on them !!!
