Unfortunately, they are leaving for better pay at Atlas, which is also in need of fair contract too. ABX played on the fact that they were the only airline in the region for a while. However, now that Atlas has moved in they are forced to compete for service, not only for business but for talent as well. I hope ABX/ATSG realizes people are an asset and not just a liability. They can demonstrate this by negotiating a fair contract. Then we can try an save this ship. However, IMHO the iceberg has already struck and now is taking on water. Those who left I wish them the best at Atlas or wherever they land. I was a dispatcher before I took to the friendly sky’s no way I’d survive on what GFS pays. I’d bolt for Atlas too, least they have a union to back them up and negotiate a fair wage.
As far as a better Union, it’s the same Union and Local that represents both Atlas and ABX. Again, you don’t have a clue.

Yes, besides us Teamsters their are other Unions in the Aviation field. Atlas Dispatch is Unionized. So before you throw before you refer to someone as not having a clue perhaps you should take a breath and read first. Also realize that others at ABX have a stake in us getting a contract too.
Yes I’m aware of Kallitta (aka Connie, K4)

I have no real idea of what Scheduler make. Obviously better elsewhere, I don’t blame anyone looking to improve their situation as long as they aren’t crapping on me or others to get ahead. Heck if all the schedulers left perhaps 4th Quarter would be a bigger cluster that would then force them to do something for us. I know I have at least 6-7 D6 days I’m owed. Wishful thinking!

Don’t know how accurate those numbers are but I imagine somewhere in that range.

Obviously you only read what you wanted to read in this paragraph. Has nothing to do with pilots. If you would have taken the extra 2 minutes to read all the way through and bothered to read the original post you would have seen, that who ever posted was saying they aren’t a pilot and they hope we get a fair contract, so that they can have a better future too.

Yes, can find way to make money. However, he could have make more money if he was more of a visionary. Can you imagine what would have happened if ATSG wouldn’t have supplied Amerijet with 767s? And again NAC? JH would have own Caribbean and Central America. He then could have set the air shipping rates in those areas. But no, he likes the low hanging fruit. He is too lazy.
