And the second thing I predicted, is in a year, you can’t find anyone who voted “yes”.
Congrats, you're so smart.

Best thing to do is leave to a better place. Hopefully helping the people that are still there.

Soft times for hiring and definitely the way to go. For those with invested time, lack of time remaining or as mentioned before with great responsibility/requirements a much heavier decision and totally respect that. I am working at another ACMI, it is not perfect by no means but meets my requirements/priorities hands down and I don’t have much responsibility/requirements so it would not be hard to leave but there are aspects which I enjoy so I stay because other outfits cannot meet. Speak with your feet if you can, wish you the best if you can’t. Fight on!

Thats Fantastic! I would bet AA has a domicile he lives at or hopes to be at in the near future making life much easier and less long blocks of time away. Just a guess, but definitely is very cool based on his priorities to fill in the big picture whatever it might be. Oh yeah, don’t forget the retirement aspect, that plays a huge part. Good for him!

speaking of retirement
, I see Atlas just made a deal to dramatically increase the 401k over the just agreed to CBA I suppose in an attempt to attract and retain pilots.

what a concept..who knew it mattered so much

I wouldn't say the "CBA" was agreed to.
