No more standups, fine. But if you did a stand up on your last day, you were released to go home around 6am or whenever you got back to base.

Southern, owned by Atlas, recently committed to fly 20 737s for Amazon. Between Atlas and ATSG, I believe that Amazon is now up to 80 aircraft planned. Since the Amazon ramps in CVG are designed for at least 300 aircraft, there is room for about 220 more...

Also, with the new 737s for Atlas, and the new 767s for ATSG (ABX, Omni and ATI), Amazon now has warrants to purchase up to 40% of the stock for each company.

Ready reserve all day or night? Packages come in and go out like clockwork, you shouldn't be sitting any reserve when airplanes aren't scheduled.
Furthermore, the industry standard is for you to be in a paid for hotel room when not on ready, with homebasing.
As bad as it sounds to you, industry standard for this sort of thing is still light years ahead of the regionals. But again, JO will do what he wants, and Mesa pilots will accept it.

JO tried that and the Mesa pilots told him to GFH
back in 2003 or 04 if my memory is correct

Heard they’re 737-400s with (no kidding) steam gauges and an EFIS sort-of PFD. Old, worn out 73’s. Probably no RNAV, definitely no VNAV. Maybe they’ll get a good deal on some slightly-used MAXs 🤣🤣🤣
For low wages and a (likely) 5-year training agreement you too can get a 737-type. Just think, doing your backside of the clock flying and getting to that glamorous LaQuinta van at 5am. So very believable
