All I'm saying is, a good fight merits putting the u-remote down for. Take a page from the AlleGIANT effort and get on it. DHL is effectively exploiting loopholes in DOT/RLA protections that transparently put workers in a cage fight to stay alive. How wrong is that?

Tidewater btw, that's all we are.

I'm just tired of the shell games and the whipsawing. I was previously flying under the ATSG debacle and I'm now with Atlas, watching history repeat itself over and over and it's maddening.

Something's got to change. Wishful thinking? Maybe; but, the only thing that keeps me sane is having at least a glimmer of hope that we can stick it to those bastards and secure a contract that's worth sticking around for.

I've got too much invested, and I'm too lazy to catch up on 10 years of old outdated logbooks, put a suit on and answer stupid ass questions like "if you were a body of water, would you rather be a river, lake or an ocean". Yes, I got asked that once.. Anyways, you're probably right in the long run; but, I at least have to fight the good fight, if for nothing else, my own sanity.

When is the current Atlas 5 year CBA for pilots set to end, Im not ure what date it was originally agreed from.

What happens at the end of the current agreement if no new CBA is in place?

Nothing happens, contracts under the RLA never expire, they merely become amendable.

It became amenable late 2015!

A newer/younger guy I flew with had a great idea for the bidding system to go along with home/gateway basing:
Virtual Basing.
Everyone's Base would change to their Virtual Base, and everyone would bid lines for the Virtual Base (instead of their Base), and nothing would change for those pilots in base. For everyone else, no more imputed income, and no travelling on days off to/from work.

This is a BRILLIANT solution!

I read somewhere here that DAL is experimenting with Virtual Basing...

Namaste...

Instead Atlas is looking into a base on the Moon. They will impute all of us on the travel costs to start and end the trip and have to pay us nothing to work here now. Easier than virtual bases and having happy employees.

Sadly, we would still have a lot of our moronic pilots jump on that opportunity as long as the Tang and dehydrated chicken alfredo was included.
