Where are you finding junior man assignments that pay $10k?

So you’d do it for $10,000?

You wouldn't do a MIA turn for $10,000 and at least 1 other day off?

...which is beside the point because that's not even what's in the CBA. This is a stupid conversation.

A guy meets a beautiful woman at the bar. He asks “would you sleep with me for a million dollars?” She replies “for a million dollars of course I would.” He then asks “How about for 50 dollars?”
“What kind of woman do you think I am?” She replies
“We’ve already established what kind of woman you are. Now we’re just haggling on the price.”

Exactly!!!

I don't understand why ATSG bought Omni.

ATSG doesn't want a reasonable contract for ABX...they think it's too expensive.

Then, they spend a TON of money buying Omni, whose pilots have arguably THE best contract in the ACMI industry, with THE BEST first year pay in the US airline industry.

Seems like they were trying to kill ABX, and just go with one airline, and now they bought a new one???

Any insights???

Note: I wonder if Amazon and/or DHL is actually behind this purchase...

It's more than pay...they want back our scope to make it easier to whipsaw, scheduling protection, reassignment pay, JRM day payback, disability amounts reduced ...all the stuff we will never give up. Base pay is nothing the real money is when they screw up and have to pay penalty premium pay plus days back.

Omni flys passengers
 

Why would amazon or dhl want a passenger airline ?

But you are correct? Maybe Hete knows he’s losing the DHL contract and found an easy revenue replacement, well additional income .

I’m not sure how much you guys know about government contracts, but they are cash cows. I’ll bet you 50% of ATI’s profits come from the 15% of CRAF flights they operate. It’s the easiest money out there, aviation or otherwise.

I wonder if and how this will effect Kalitta. I know 777’s are being added to the fleet...
