Airlines are in need of pilots and are setting the market price for a pilot. If Atlas needs a 767 pilot, they can pay market rate or risk that pilot choosing another company.
Like I said... I dont disagree that on the surface you are right... but has you boys at Atlas are so apt to point out your mgt doesn't seem to think its important enough to come to the table yet and negotiate in good faith. Listen, I get it... I watched for over 5 years as the mgt at K4 ignored the inevitable. I hope you are right... I hope they pay you dollar for dollar what FEDEX/UPS gets.... it helps this whole segment of the industry. FWIW... you mistake what I would like to see the bar raised to and what I believe is achievable. Good Luck.

Classy response, thank you. We hope so too. We have shrunk in the size of our pilot group three months in a row now. That is during a time when the company is highering at max capacity to attempt to grow us to fullfill the Amazon contract. If this keeps up, our company will either have to pay us or start picking their favorite customers.
