Mgmt will do anything to get the contract they want. I could absolutely see them stopping growth and outsourcing everything they possibly could- small furlough of 100-150 pilots. Make the union blink and scare the pilots. It’s coming. Mark my word.

Last year there was a 747 class that started July 9th. The next 747 class started Dec 3rd. There was a 767 class the first week of August. The next class was after Thanksgiving. We don't have the staffing to run the schoolhouse and fly 4th quarter.

You need 1000 pilots to give a 2 week notice

Something along the lines of transferring Polar flying to K4. I believe 1224 was successful in stopping that for the time being.

Amazon flying is melting down today. Massive delays some exceeded 24 hours due to no crew. The entire board is red. It’s incredible.

No way Amazon will continue to accept this type of performance- Atlas has been trying to make Amazon a priority over all the other flying, and they still can’t get it done.

I’m very concerned Amazon will shift the 767 and 737 to ATI. They can do it and have the bodies to do so.

Atlas will furlough 500 pilots immediately when Amazon pulls the plug on this program.

What’s absolutely incredible mgmt would rather lose Amazon as a customer over paying their pilots more to attract and retain- let that sink in...

Get your popcorn ready.

Interesting: while everything may be messed up in terms of pilot/aircraft schedule/plan vs reality, the actual Amazon flights as of right now seem pretty-much on-time. A couple of 45 minute delays, and a late Hawaii flight, but the rest seem to be going out on-time or early. Shows that you guys are doing what you need to to get the job done. Of course, that can't last forever and can result in cascading delays later.

Which one of these statements written about 1 hour apart are true?
