This is a kick in the nads. Feel for my friends over there.

Not exactly. It's even worse than that. We'll have the same lousy contract that we have now for at least the next 2+ years and then we'll get a new lousy arbitrated contract, if the company survives that long.

"Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.."

Wow, nobody saw this coming..... (said nobody at Atlas)

My arbitrator speaks for me......sad.

Why doesn’t the entire pilot group come together and put in their collective ‘2 weeks notice’?

Just shut em down!

Does anyone have a copy of the decision?

Ha Ha. Good one. You should try stand up comedy.

It won’t survive and if it does it’ll be in a much smaller form. EVERYONE will be heading for the exits now, and only a fool would apply here but Atlas will keep their ridiculous banner ads up on APC and keep spamming every pilots email hoping to lure a few more suckers.

AMC just sanctioned the company for their horrible on time performance and flights are days late if they go at all. The company is at negotiations this week for 3.5 days of which 4 hours will be actual face to face if past practice is continued. No more negotiations scheduled.

The stock is cratering, down almost 50% in a month. Shares fell after the arbitration win for the company. The press release states mgt believes an agreement can now be reached in less than 9 months. What garbage, try another 3 years like the last go around. They’ve broken every written and verbal agreements with the union so their words mean nothing. Wall Street isn’t buying the company propaganda anymore and if the 3rd qtr comes out as bad as expected the shares will be in the teens. Penny stock territory by Christmas then AAWH will declare bankruptcy. An imposed bankruptcy CBA wouldn’t be any worse than what’s inplace now.

But that would require there to actually BE a pilot group to impose a CBA upon. Perhaps if companies just fail altogether the RLA might be revised to make it a little easier to strike before labo unrest went quit so far as to just all walk away.
