There are plenty of other places that aren't on fire. Atlas is the one with the water to put the fire out. Unless they open up the valves to provide the water, we hit the fire escape and walk to the nearest building that has a better sprinkler system.

We could care less what Atlas looks like after it is burned to the ground. All we have to lose is a couple of years of seniority. Flynn will lose his company.

... how's that for analogy carry through ... ???

Just a line pilot here...

I am simply stating- it takes two sides to get a deal done. The union has drawn there line with the strike vote- the CO with their - "merger" so... Why don't we all just figure out a way to make this work...one side can't simply stomp their feet and state- this is what I deserve- it doesn't and has never worked that way.

When it's this far out of whack (management thinks we should amalgamate with a bankrupt contract when we are paid 40% LESS than industry standard) then yes, we should stand our ground and stomp on their heads. We must. A majority of Fedex F/O's make more than our Captains, same goes for UPS, Delta too. We are on the side of the facts, the entire industry, the majority, and truth. Kum-bay-a is not going to work with these people.

Okay, I get it, you're one of the very high seniority guys on the whale, or one that drinks the company Kool-Aid...either way, we've carried this outfit long enough on our backs. How long is it going to take before you (and those like you) realize where the industry is vs where our pilot group is in terms of .... use any metric you want in the blank spaces (pay rates, work rules, retirement, time off, vacation, etc etc etc).

You have a chance to voice your opinion until noon tomorrow. I hope you take it and vote in favor of strike authorization...that is one tool that our union leaders and the NC can use to get us to industry standard terms and conditions.

boeingdvr is absolutely correct.

It takes two sides to get a deal done. However, it was the ATLAS negotiating team who no-showed at the negotiating sessions forcing us to file for arbitration to bring them to the table. Prior to Atlas refusing to appear, the only "negotiation proposals" they brought forth were involved NO change from the current contract! They simply cut and pasted sections straight out of our current CBA. THAT is not a negotiation. THAT is an insulting waste of our valuable time and a blatant delay tactic postponing any additional costs to the company and postponing any pay raises for us. It's a WIN-LOSE situation and they're going to play that hand for years if they can.

It's pretty difficult to figure out how to make things work when the other guy won't even show up to talk.

Default Amazon

So just saw the post about the Amazon flying. You figure they will need how many for 20 planes, average 9 pilots per plane? So 180 to start flying 2nd term 2016 and up to 2017 was it for implementation? So when would the next class start if they are taking May off? I'm kind of hoping to be in that one but would looooooove the heads up!

Arbitration and Mediation are vastly different animals. Do some reading.

Not arbitration... Mediation. Arbitration is what we are trying to avoid.

I would double your number on the low end. Up to 500 on the high end. It really depends on monthly block hours, not so much on the number of airplanes.
