A new reality at AAWW today. The Union lost their case with the Arbitrator to stop the amalgamation of the Southern/Atlas contracts. As that was the stronger case in favor of the Union the fact that was lost anyway means amalgamation is almost certain now. Bottom line, there won’t be anything approaching industry standard pay and work rules here. No vote on any offer will take place now or likely decades for future contracts. Take what very substandard terms the company brings to the table or an Arbitrator will impose it. But hey, you might get to fly a 747 or 777...for sub regional pay and bennies as you wait behind a thousand FO’s to upgrade.

Is any of this right or just a marketing tactic? I’m really attracted for the 777. I know upgrade time is like 10 years but oddly enough I’m ok with that.

So ultimately what are the true ramifications of this for the pilot group as a whole?

It means anyone that was on the fence about leaving or waiting to see if atlas could pull off an industry standard deal just promptly got off that fence and is headed to a job fair near you. Last guy turn out the lights nothing to see here
