How is attrition going, and will Atlas be able to staff the flying they have?
I'd imagine if attrition outpaced recruitment, then there would be pressure on management to get something put together to attract talent. Or do people feel that they'd rather beach contract(s) and lose flying before they pay another dime?

The deliveries will continue. They just announced a new 747 ACMI contract with DHL. It appears that Atlas is just planning to compensate for attrition by increasing recruitment.

Is the union doing anything like Spirit? They apparently have workshops to help pilots move on to the big 3. It's one way to speed up attrition, I'm not sure how effective they have been, but I don't think there's anything the company can do to stop them.
If you can't stop people from coming, get them out quickly, I guess is their thought process. Either way the goal is to become understaffed putting pressure on management.

We've already missed the original target for the 20 Amazon airplanes. Maybe they'll delay/defer some. Maybe they'll reduce reserve coverage. Maybe they'll... Who knows?

Per yesterday's P2P call: management is currently requesting relief from DHL, AMZ, (and brown and purple during peak) from the customer's reserve requirements because we do not have enough pilots on property to meet our contractual requirements.

Attrition outpacing hiring is a very good thing during contract negotiations.
