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.

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.
