I'm about keeping Atlas competitive and the best way for that is for us to have an amalgamated contract.

 

Do you really think Atlas can stay "competitive" with a disgruntled frontline workforce? How important is DHL to the bottom line? You had better wake up. We will not sell ourselves short and we have the solidarity, resolve and a job market that overwhelmingly favors pilots to hold out for a "competitive" contract. This place WILL burn down and the shareholders will lose their asses before we accept an amalgamated contract.

All in!

 

In Office Space, Lumberg is the antagonist buffoon. It is entirely appropriate for you to post this.

 

This is the crap that scares me to death. Been there done that, everybody looses, no winners!

 

Reduce the fighting will to "crap" if you want. I've been there too and it certainly is scary. However, all too often, the workers are blamed instead of a greedy management. In today's climate, an almagamated contract is silly and shameful.

My choice is to die fighting on my feet than to die a slow cowardly death on my knees by accepting an almagamated contract......which would be exactly that.

 

THIS!^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I was looking for a job when I got this one.

 

Ok I'm convinced you are a company pogue in Purchase or a slimy lawyer. Either way I'm more inclined than ever to fight to get better work rules and pay for the pilot group, and taking solace in knowing that even if we stop being competitive and we all lose our jobs at least you will lose yours.

 

Maybe if you mean you want to have a strike vote competing with Kalitta's.

 

Treehorn,

I believe you are wrong about this clown. Every airline I have ever worked for had one or two idiots like Radioactive. They live in constant fear of losing their job and will take the company side on every issue. They hang on every rumor and always believe the company when they say the sky is falling. Usually these worms have brown nosed their way into a check airman or training position and know that if they had to change jobs they would lose the cushy gigs and "special" access to management that they have gained through the years. Ignore him. I am sure that most of the Atlas pilots already know who he is and probably have a nickname for him. If not, might I suggest one from my very first airline. We called him "bootsie" because he was so far up managements butt that all you could see was his boots. Since his boots are radioactive it might be interesting to note which management people have something glowing in the back of their pants as they leave the offices at night.

Good luck to both the Atlas and SAI sides of this merger. These things are rarely painless or pleasant.
