Yup. SkyLease.

Honest question, not being facetious.

That’s just not going to happen.
It’s kind of a bummer. I like my job. I like my crews. I detest applying, interviewing, etc. Sometimes it feels like we’re being forced out the door.

My smarter coworkers realized this far sooner than I and left already, and the really smart ones never even applied in the first place.

Any updates on the Contract negotiations? Rumor has it no training classes until the end of the year which works for me, not sure I wan't to start if negotiations are heated since I've got a decent paying job right now.

Now that I'm in the trenches, I don't see a contract ever happening.
Atlas will simply right size, out source, use OT, and any other means besides paying us a livable wage.
You see, we aren't like a fed, delta, or even a regional.
Atlas has the abilty to our source their entire operation. They are simply a holding company "much like Starbucks or McDonald's. Hence the name "AAWWH"
If we can't fill a class, they simply make a call, have some rogue Asian carrier move the freight, they make some and so does Atlas. Still making a profit, and no need to hire more bodies.
A new hire today will never see -400 captain inside of 12 years. And possibly never see 767 captain inside of 6 years.
We have hired a ton of bodies in the last 4 years.
Be careful what you wish for. Flying around the world on min rest, or sitting R3 at the dirty DHL hub.
Gitty up.
