Amazon Prime Air pilots to protest at shareholders meeting

Click the link for more.

Amazon Prime Air pilots are heading to shareholders meeting to confront execs over low wages

More than 50 pilots are set to protest at Amazon's shareholders meeting on Tuesday.

The Teamsters say that Atlas Air and ATSG pay 50 to 60 percent below the rest of the industry.

Without better pay and benefits, the pilots fear there won't be enough of them to keep up their end of the contract with Amazon.

Loving all the media exposure that I'm seeing this generate. A big "thank you" to everyone who made the trip out to fight the good fight.

CTR just decertify the union that torpedoed your application for single carrier status and join the union that represents all of the other U. S. DHL carriers.

Then you can get up to our new levels!

just sayin ...

It will happen naturally...

Everyone is banking on Kalitta pay +

If that doesn't happen then things will take their own course.

Sincere thanks to all who took the time to show up and fight on our behalf for a better future. Prime Air and DHL do not deserve and advantage in the market by underpaying its pilots and we deserve a market appropriate contract. Again thanks to all involved in organizing and to those who participated
