FYI.....Atlas hasn't imputed any income in over 2 years. Just don't sell yourself short, look at industry average for 737 operators and shoot for that.

We have Out on our fleet, as well as CPDLC, and all the other stuff they require for NAT tracks over the Atlantic. We are installing little lights that turn on in case of an ADSB failure, otherwise we wouldn't know unless ATC told us.
Yes you do know. The radios allow input of flight number and you get a new ADS-B fail annunciator light.

I hope they redo the cockpit interiors. These things are ragged.

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.
Omni is passenger only and doesn’t do cargo.... yet.

They will begin to soon, but with 777, not 767.

It makes a certain sort of evil, smokey-room, steepled-fingers sense. Why go to the bottom of the list at Southern when you're already years in to a "career" at Mesa and now you can fly a Boeing!!!!????
It was bad at one point, however, last time I passed through their facility, in December, it was much better. And it's a very well organized operation at CVG.
You do know Southern is now ATLAS!
I personally am looking at K2.

Oh! you guys remember my buddy from a few post back? Well he's now on the 767. What a break this guy got.

No he went from Mesa to Miami air, after getting screwed at Mesa. Now on the 767 at another company.

Back in the 90's when I worked at YV we were all based at the out stations.
That might actually be a benefit in the cargo operation, short of the poor pay.

When you make less than 85K/year at Mesa as a captain - and the FO in the 737 at the gate next to you (painted in the same colors as yours) makes twice that amount - you've been screwed.

Never mind the captain of that same 737 making over 300K/year.

We've ALL been played. Some willingly - some not.

And we still don't lift a finger to fight this.

Not a peep
