Just for your reference, I've been a whale captain for over nine years and I'll bring in around $180K this year. I average 14 days away from home a month. Not implying anything, just giving some numbers.
That 2006 report is old. We've been setting record profits this year, looking for a 15% profit sharing check early next year?
BTW, Atlas is not a bottom feeder, we are the scum floating on top of bottom feeders, get it right!

Don't let the naysayers get your goat.
There is always a way to take care of "MOST" of the people should the event occur.

FlyByCable is probably sitting reserve and bored, thus the antagonizing posts. He is getting a kick out of being who he protrays himself to be.
The funny thing is, his message (yes, there is one buried beneath all of the crap) would provoke thoughtful conversation, but now it is just flamebait.

On the flipside, I read that UPS was trying to buy something like 1/3 of the stock of the PARENT company that owns DHL. So, maybe they're trying to buy/get control of DHL and Atlas all at the same time???

Yes income last quarter was really nice but I don't think having a 43 Million dollar profit can begin to justify spending Billions on new aircraft. Atlas Holdings has been cutting back its Atlas operation by leasing and selling some of its aircraft to other companies and the DHL contract been helping its bottom line. 2006 report states that they have not been able to come up with financing necessary to buy these aircraft and unless that has changed they will have to sell the contract or come up with some cash. I dont care either way, just reading the financial statements.

I don't think that guys here are really not interested in going to UPS (I'm young and would consider the move), but many people are aware of the UPS first year pay and can't honestly afford the pay cut. I've been here (Atlas) for 9 years and enjoy pretty good quality of life, working only 9 to 13 days a month.
