What I'm also hearing is greed from the ones representing us at the union table, stubbornness on both sides of the table which does NOTHING! Union: What is it that they are offering us? Their benefits are beyond real, pay could be better, schedule could improve some..... Again, I don't want to anger anyone but right is right and fair is fair. Kalitta is NOT Atlas by any means (financially or populations size/planes & employees) and we don't need to base our wants off of Atlas. Kalitta is Kalitta and we all want what is fair. The next time you meet with Kalitta at the table, PLEASE for the love of God and all things holy, SIGN THE DA*N CONTRACT!!!!!!!!! For the ones who despise Kalitta, you are entitled to your opinion. Everything is not for everyone.

Fair, interesting term you used you must be a GK want a be, because it takes two to sign the agreement, not one.
Having been at the table when the FIRST pay proposal was set in front of the company July 13 of 2013 I can tell you they had plenty of opportunity to SIGN A CONTACT! Why are you blaming the Union for this?
Your rhetoric sounds so much like the company it is hard to believe this could be coming out of a pilot.
Stop blaming the Union and start supporting the efforts they have put forth on you behalf Since Jan of 2010.
