I'm going to try and come over. I'm glad at least one Union is trying to make the pilot profession respectable again. I worked for a company with no Union and the pilots were walked all over.
Great job Atlas pilots thank you for taking a stand!

Um, yeah, sorry I have to say this but, Atlas is taking work from CX while CX pilots are in a work slowdown with no end in site.
An aquaitance at NCA Japan just had his upgrade cancelled due to Atlas taking some flying. Why, NCA says they cannot get enough pilots. Why, terms and conditions. NCA cut them and did it again.
I understand the frustration of the Atlas group pilots but you do work for an ACMI which means flying for others during periods of labor unrest. I'm sorry but you cannot have it both ways.
Were you going to honor ABXs strike? I guess as long as it's a U.S. carrier it's not ok but for foreign carriers, with loads of furloughed or displaced U.S. pilots, it is ok?

It is what it is--real life.
Those decisions are made WAY above our pay grade, so it's not Atlas pilots taking jobs from ANYONE.
All we're trying to do is effect better pay and working conditions for ourselves with the hope of improving this segment of the industry.
If you cannot support that, then I wish you the best and ask you to not hinder our efforts.

So, I'm just a local schmuck who flies PC-12's and King Airs, but someday I hope to be flying the big stuff, for the pay and benefits that professionals deserve. It would be an honor to come out and show support, but I'm a total newbie to 121's, unions etc. If you want another pilot out there showing support I'd love to stand with you, anyone want to PM me any protocol, dress code, etc?
