Atlas will declare bankruptcy to rid themselves of 744’s.
As I have stated before, those still at K4 will now see the value in being here during lean times. The company will weather this downturn, and with the new management personnel, come out the other side ready to prosper again.
Those that jump ship to a pax major may see a flat growth for a few years as the economic slow down the world is seeing finally effects the US. Delta and others will hire until the day they furlough.
747 Pilots hired in the last 4 years at K4? Enjoy some site seeing on the somewhat longer layovers the slow economy provides. If you need the extra money bid the 777.

Take a page out of the Mesa Air playbook. Declare bankruptcy, drop the 400 leases and come out the other side smaller but better positioned financially. Seems simple to me. The danger in all of this is that any contract negotiations would be done in a bankruptcy setting. Not good for members.
Sorry for the drift. Back to enjoying the Florida sunshine until the 20th.
