There are a couple of classes in Jan from what I've heard.. some of the people in the 5th got moved to the later class date. Not sure why. I start on the 5th and haven't heard anything about moving my class date.

Default Atlas Air Hiring

I start on the 26th, was notified the same day I was offered the class on the 5th. I called Denise on Monday and asked if everything was going as planned, she told me my class was still being offered both planes. Should be hearing back tommorw as Kira was on vacation.

Classes being moved around is no doubt due to the fixing of the illegal vacancy award. No sweat fellas, better to delay class 2-3 weeks and know your new company is being held to the CBA.

It still infuriates me that they even tried that. That was completely disrespectful to us.

Yes, but my opinion has always been to not take it personally. It's business to them, and so it should be business to us. Leave emotions off the table and hold them to the CBA. As we all know, when Section 6 starts, they're going to try all manner of ways to get us to start fighting and arguing amongst ourselves. Let's step past the anger, and simply handle it just as company does.

Again, same boat as you, Brotha! See you in Miami in a few weeks. Appreciate the SA on Kira...was wondering why I hadn't heard any more on it. By the way, I'm driving down, so feel free to stay in touch if you need anything.

What was irritating was that it was a blatant violation. I'm not the expert on the CBA that I should be but I do read it and care. I do make an attempt to follow it. You didn't have to be a lawyer to instantly know that it was an outright violation of the CBA. Clearly.

I get that they want to make as much money as they can and there's nothing more American than that but at some point upsetting us isn't profitable for them. That's why I hated to see the attempt. To credit our leadership it was taken care of immediately.

It's NOT American to blatantly and continuously violate a signed legal contract. It's friggin GREED. And I, for one, place the blame squarely on SL.

Does anybody here think that Flynn would try to stiff the fuel providers or the Boeing company with some made-up loophole they pulled out of thin air?

No way.

So why do they do it to us? Because they think they can...

If we're going to be fined for "Job Actions" (as unions in general) then what he heck was that? That was a blatant violation of the contract! It's not like they can claim ignorance! They should've been fined or worse!
