At least it's a start and they won't be getting paid complete **** while working on improving the rest of their contract
It's a start, and the end. They might feel like ATSG is rewarding them for being good boys, but ATSG doesn't do that. Any hope of improvement on the next contract will quickly be dashed against the brick wall of ATSG management. Negotiations will drag on for several years. I'd even wager that the next contract will be negotiated during an economic downturn, and management will ask for concessions.
