Talk about driving a wedge between the pilots and everyone else at the company!!!

That on top of a Western Global bankruptcy and on the other side of the pond ASL furloughing pilots. The weaker dominoes are starting to fall.

Don't worry, once the FedEx TA passes, all of the ACMIs will have more business than they know what to do with.

By hook or by crook, they’ll move to outsource. Hold the line & don’t look back. If it’s bribery they seek, grant their wish. Play the game right. Raise the stakes.

Truly hope you guys have enough brains to vote that TA down with big numbers. The scope clause on your TA is bad for the entire industry.

You have a strike authorization vote in your pocket don't you? We (Atlas) have a clause in our contract that we are not required to fly struck freight from another airline. If you guys strike, there isn't nearly enough capacity in the US to fly your cargo. You have a lot of leverage. If Fedex comes to Atlas and says hey, our pilots are striking, we need to outsource all this freight, our pilots will say no way jose, and it's in our CBA.

How often does anyone anywhere do something or not because it’s ‘good’ for industry? Cargo moves on deals. As for brainstorming, winning dealers play a long game. Long odds only when the dice is loaded.

There is no such thing as not being released to strike. RLA has timelines for everything after the cooling down period, including the PEB. You are perpetuating an old myth.

But before any of that happens, the NMB must decide that the two sides have reached an impasse. That doesn't happen on any kind of statutorily-defined timeline.
