Keep fighting the good fight, Atlas managment thanks you.

 

If there was any doubt before...you just confirmed your troll status. Congratulations.

According to your post only an A&P can point out something wrong with the aircraft. Guess all those walk around the aircraft were for naught. The details of that incident are beyond the scope and rules of posting in this forum (just like your last post btw).

...and Yes. Report was filed.

 

Trolls haunt every forum, call them out, identify them, then stop feeding them.

 

Dave, I don't think you are a troll, but you don't seem to understand the sensitive nerve you have struck. Do I understand correctly that you have been here for 3 years?

There are so many pilots here who have been working hard and putting up with abuse for 10-20 years. These guys have been waiting on the come for something that never materializes.

This company has perpetrated some down right evil actions against this pilot group over the years. Time and the value of money has been lost by this group and many of us are too old/over qualified to make the move. Those who can certainly are. Many of us simply have to ride this train until it goes off the tracks.

The Atlas Air management team is devoid of honor and ethics and are drunk from money that was not earned but appropriated through corporate shenanigans.

 

I guess you didn't read the "Thank you" part......

 

Thanks for the honest post. I don't know why you quoted the good luck I sent because I meant it in earnest.

None the less, I just call BS as I see it, total BS...like the MX post. If it happened then I am glad he reported it....and I thanked him. But without substantiation or proof, his words are worth nothing, especially when worded just to incite an uprising!! Or the idiotic claims of imputed income...vastly exaggerated ..again with no proof and I don't see any body rushing to put up a redacted pay stub. It has all been, "my buddy this...", and "a guy I know that....". Can't you see that?!

BUT, I have never put anybody down for fighting the good fight AGAINST management for suing us or being "ALL IN". But, being "all in" doesn't entitle anyone to put stories up here saying, "I have a buddy it happened to as well so it must be true".

THIS IS A WEB FORUM PEOPLE....so choose words carefully. I wouldn't doubt that corporate lawyers are coming through this thread picking it apart in an attempt to ascertain and undermine our position. See how that works? MY POSITION...I'm not saying, "...some guy down the road so it must be true". Let's try another one: "I had a feeling that some of the cargo on board our AC weren't packaged to spec so I filed a report". One more: "I heard that there are training failures attributed to the new FO type. Anybody else heard that? I know it happened to at least one guy. I wonder if it is more widespread". .....keeping it the "real" zone. (this paragraph not meant for you shrugged)

I have been in this industry for a short 12 years and I was an ALPA fool as an RJ CA and left after 9 to come here so I understand contract negotiations and conflict of interest and so on but making crap up doesn't strengthen our position.

Feel free to continue with the BS and wild claims and I'll continue with the shovel.....(also, not meant for you shrugged).

I too am going to ride this train until it comes off the tracks(for my own reasons)....but I am not going to help them do it. Nor will I fly outside of the contract. I never have and I never will. At the end of the day, I want to help the prospective candidates of this thread get the information that they need to make an informed decision about coming here, but lately it has become a BULL CRAP, whining, and complaining thread totally devoid of the information the prospective applicants are seeking.

So, HEY, prospective candidates....PM me and i'll give you my personal experiences.....the good, the bad AND the ugly.

 

Look man...I am just picking apart what you are SAYING....not you PERSONALLY, so RELAX.

You could have easily written this so that it didn't seem so unverifiable or not believable.

...."I was on a walk around and noticed XYZ so I filed a report! This has happened to me on more than one occasion! When will these morons in purchase get their act together".

Also, I never said that only an A&P can "point out something wrong with the AC". So, I hope you still accomplish due diligence with the walk around. It is our duty to report anomalies.

Besides, I thanked you....you could have skipped over the IF statement. Math much?

Lastly, how did I violate the rules of the forum? Really, I am curious. If I did, I am truly sorry and I will stop.

 

please, no name calling.......it violates the rules of the forum.



Seriously though, I thought it interesting that you chose to quote me saying that I don't believe unsubstantiated claims, therefore, you call me management. Do you believe everything you read? Is it not our right to question as citizens? This is not the Salem witch trials....why are we burning people at the stake for the mere questioning of claims that on their face seem to be absurd?

ab·surd
əbˈsərd,əbˈzərd/

I am not saying these things don't happen, i.e., mx, catering, travel....but keep it real. We don't NEED to embellish.

 

There are a lot of things that I don't say out of fear of reprisal. There are things that I could say that would out my anonymity in a heart beat.

For anyone considering Atlas, think about something as small/ "trivial" as this. The company purposely negotiates breakfast out of room rates even if it has no effect on cost. They even tried to force one of our German hotels to cancel our breakfast, but he stood up for us and told them he would charge them more to deny us breakfast.

But don't let the $66 million burn a hole in your pockets boys...

 

I didn't call you management, just that they would appreciate what you are doing here. Thought pointing out your error interpreting my post may help you better pick apart all the literal meanings and possible exaggerations of negative posts about the company.
