Exactly why 2 different unions doesn’t work. Now everyone gets to see it all play out in real time.

The reason why other airlines comment on your negations is because it directly effects ,either positively or negatively , other groups ability to get the best deal possible. This “don’t comment because you’re not at our airline” is an utterly short sighted and dim witted argument.
Pay rates aside, if y’all vote something in with no direct retirement contribution you are hurting yourselves as well as everyone else is the same general position. I understand that it’s better than what you have but it is NOT what you deserve.

I agree 100%.

ATI pilots, you need to think about your professional pride and self esteem. Are you flying the same equipment as your counterparts at ABX? Are the Exec’s in ATSG giving themselves subpar bonuses and pay raises? Are the ATSG airlines responsible for the company’s profits?

Don’t underestimate yourselves. Demand and expect what you deserve. Vote your conscience.

So Kalitta "hurt themselves and everyone else" by failing to hold out for a direct contribution % in addition to the increase in 401k match that they got?

For a fact, the ABX NC was ask to lose items of our current contract to more closely match k4’s current contract in exchange for rates.

So I’ll send the question back to you, does that help or hurt?

That’s not to say that k4 should have held out. It’s just showing that every contract has affects across the board.

ATI is already compensated well below industry. Hopefully they have pushed to, at the very least come up to some sort of new standard.

You never get everything you want in this but the environment is ripe to get extremely close.

Yes, absolutely, because that is far less that the industry standard outside of ACMI’s

I couldn't agree more. ATI should vote down this first offer out of principle. It's clear that Amazon is dangling some sort of carrot to
management to press them for a CBA resolution. Guarantee there's more $$ to be had above the value of this TA.

What amuses me though is the ATI group getting lectured about self-esteem re: not asking for a retirement DC... pretty sure no one lectured Kalitta or (Omni for that matter) about settling for "just a 401k match increase". ATI could vote in a UPS-like CBA and 2 seconds later people would be on here finding a way to spin it in a negative way.

As your aviation brother, I URGE YOU to reconsider your logic as soon as humanly possible. The market conditions have NEVER IN THE HISTORY OF FLYING AIRPLANES been better for negotiating your wage.

Dear Lord, what world do you live in?
