I just read the write up on the Loadmaster and it painted an interesting picture of shareholder input.
The earnings call is a pretty good read, but a much better listen.I just read the write up on the Loadmaster and it painted an interesting picture of shareholder input.
Considering they accidentally sent us all an e-mail expressly saying delay delay delay, and they won't even show up to half of the 3 days for the month, I'm not sure how it could be considered good faith.I love the plane I fly, and the people I fly with. But as Emu said, management is playing a game and I'm not sure where they are going. If we got a nice contract I'd like to stay here, but I don't think we will. I've been here 2 years, in that time we've made virtually no progress on the CBA and I don't expect anything to change soon. They're only "negotiating" 3 days a month, and I don't think the negotiations are in good faith at all.
I came from XJT when life was terrible, so this is a step up from a regional but I was also a commuting 3 yr reserve FO

What I meant to say is that it’s a step up from where I was, not any regional in general. I was at XJT, when I left we were losing planes with no end in sight. We didn’t have a flow, and the CPP was having really poor results when I left. Things turned around, though, but when I left it was absolutely a step up.It's not a step up from a regional, if the regional has flow, or an expectation of moving on in X years.

Hiring like mad, I’m not sure for what because we aren’t that understaffed. The countdown to arbitration is ticking so there should be a contract next year, how good it is will be up to the arbitratorHow is Atlas these days? I may or may not have an offer.

They flew one of their 747s out of MZJ this past Thursday night at 2230. Was a surprise to see. Night takeoffs of large jets out of here are rare indeed. Night landings of same are nearly never done. Very rare to see those.

I saw N473MC, the one I asked you about a while back, out in HKG the other day. You could hear the groan from the rest of the crew. It’s a turd.
they’ve been taking a few out of storage here the past few weeks. Most of the Atlas planes here are in soft storage, able to be reactivated fairly quickly. First night takeoff I’ve seen in a long while
