If they are adding planes and steadily losing people to attrition, why did they announce no hiring until 2019? I think people are just trying to understand the actual logistics of what has happened here, not argue specifics. Hopefully someone at Atlas has some insight and we can accomplish something here besides nitpicking with each other.

It's so easy to do a 15-17 day trip- have a few days off and start a another 15-17. Day trip. So yes. 40 day trips - don't forget that 2 day commute to Anchorage.

UAL furloughed pilots in ground school during the mid 2000's

Atlas has plenty of bodies for the few planes left to come- there are nearly 600 pilots for 30 767's.

Pilots are sitting R2 for 17 days not being called during the entire stent- all to get extended for 3 more days of pain.

Zero upgrades on the last award.

Buyer beware

Atlas will furlough the same way ABX did in the 4th quarter of 2017....oh wait, that was hollow threat by the Soaper team. Once they realized Abex lost more to attrition than He wanted to furlough that threat ended real quick!! Fortunately we all took him pretty serious and and showed management how intolerant we are of their head games. I figure Atlas will follow suit; as recent history is showing by supplying UPS with a steady stream of type rated pilots.

Spoiler alert: I heard AAWH is getting sued soon by Fed and UPS. Both claim AAWH is not fulfilling the quota for the pilot pipeline for classes they had agreed upon fast enough

As far as the 40 day trips, I just came to work two days ago, I will get two days at home the 1st and 2nd of April then I won’t get back home til the 19th. I am 37% seniority on the 767. Just the facts.

Atlas is loosing pilots very quickly. High seniority are leaving too. Many retirements going on all year. I'll be surprised if there is a furlough.

I think you need to revisit the latest vacancy award. Dated March 15th.

Upgrades in the 74 and 76!

Quit spewing your lies!

But let’s be truthful here. You bid a line, you were awarded a line. Sometimes it just happens that way. You can’t blame the company for that.
