Both the Union and Co need to be very careful - could blow up for both sides. IMO - a good reasonable short term deal, protecting all flying and future flying is in everyone's intrests.

I wouldn't put it past them to try, but they'll never be able to staff it under Florida West. Not with the current pilot market. They would have to find the worst wretches in the bottom of the pilot barrel willing to get hired into Florida West, and even they would not be enough.

No. If we have to burn this place to the ground to get a decent contract, so be it.

From: Spreading the LUV from the "Write" seat!!!
How I read the press release is 20 767-300 converted freighters dry leased through Titan, operated CMI through Atlas. Service beginning mid 2016 and fully operational 2018. Dry leases are for 10 years, CMI is for 7 years with provisions to bring it to 10.
Going to need to crew 20 more 767's and stop attrition at the same time to make that happen.....

So are you Atlas management or legal counsel? Or maybe DHL or Amazon's?
If it gets burnt down but we get a decent contract in the process then we can easily rebuild. There is no shortage of customers looking for lift. If it simply gets burnt down, well they've shot themselves in the foot hiring a young pilot group over the last few years. Most of us have plenty of time for a career elsewhere.

There is no ego in standing one's ground for an industry standard or better contract.
I would rather die fighting on my feet than live on my knees. Besides, the jobmarket is on our side and the burned out hull that used to be Atlas will hurt them much more than it would us.

Then show up to the negotiating table! Our egos will be fine when you pay us what we are worth. Until then, best of luck with your marketing campaign. It's failing so far.
