ATLAS PILOTS, PLEASE DON'T DO IT!
If there is a strike planned, please contact our union (Teamsters Local 1224) in advance to inform us. We will NOT cross your picket line.

Buddy, we're going through our own contract mess over here. We've got enough fights to fight than to worry about your couple of Cathay flights here or there. We only fly for 3 dozen other customers. By the way our own management is suing us! Good luck to you.

Then we need to fight together not be divided. Ask yourself, again, what support you'd want if you come to strike. Can CX show up and fly DHL/Amazon flights? Would you be ok with that.

Not trying to pick a fight, trying to unite the crews against the real enemies.

I'd be happier with a year long Jelly of the Month Club subscription...

We support you but have no legitimate argument until you go on strike. Your suggestions other than "don't do it" are welcome.

Braniff, as soon as you go on strike and risk your job, we will back you up.

But until you man up and risk your job..... do not ask us to risk ours on your behalf.

As far as DHL or Amazon using CX.....go ahead and fly for them, we are not on strike. Just like you are not on strike.

It's my understanding that CX doesn't have the crews to fly the cargo flights.

He doesn't even work for CX. He's just lobbing grenades from a safe distance on behalf of a friend.

Not true whiplash. Trying to rally the troops is all.

We are already there... Legally, we can only refuse if the Cathay pilots go on strike. We are standing by.

Please let us know in advance. Atlas / Polar / Southern are all represented by Teamsters Local 1224.

Please have your union leaders call us at 1-800-294-1224 if a strike is being planned.

See you on the picket line.
