It was disseminated to the crews. See the unions response to 3rd quarter earnings announcement....

Sounds like a dozen probation FO's got fired. Looks like Atlas is hiring anyone, then culling the herd afterwards?

Potential investors should read this article


Amazon Flights Getting Bumpy -- Market Talk
BY Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
— 10:32 AM ET 11/04/2016

10:32 ET - Labor disputes are challenging the big air-cargo ramp by Amazon ( AMZN) , with Air Transport (ATSG) and Atlas Air (AAWW) both battling strife in their pilot ranks while frantically hiring to keep up. ATSG officials say their 3Q conference call that some pilots have stopped volunteering for extra work, just as the peak season looms--forcing it to pay premium rates to maintain service levels. It's also taken the Teamsters to court, alleging it violated labor agreements by advising pilots not to work extra flights, a charge the union contests. ATSG will have 3 more Boeing (BA) 767s flying for AMZN during the peak season. Amid its noted revenue beat, ATSG rises 3.2% to $13.38, turning positive for the week. ([email protected]; @dougcameron)

there's the one everyone knows about - who's the other? (PM if you like)

We are losing new hires, but except for the one, the others I'm aware of resigned in lieu of being fired, most for valid training issues.

Yes, there have been several in the past few months "released"(fired or resigned, I don't know) due to training issues....but that's to be expected with the dumbing down of experience levels of some recent hires...but I'm only aware of one terminated for other reasons(FB).

I assume we would have received word from the union if anything else had happened.

I misspoke, 1 was terminated in October for a fb post regarding picking up open time. Still, ridiculous
