Hiring hasn't stopped permanently, though. Retirements alone dictate that seats will have to be filled in the coming years. Things may progress at a slower rate until the market allows more growth but the door certainly isn't shut. There's still room at Michael's in Hahn for some more!

I know this has been discussed before and there are pilots who live abroad in Europe and commute to Atlas. I'm in the pool and would really like to pick the brains of some of these pilots if any are active on this board. If you could shoot me a pm, I'd greatly appreciate it!. Thank you!

That union email was just showing basic math computed from numbers found on this website. A lot of the old geezers at Atlas either don't visit this site, don't care cause they have a military pension, or haven't gotten down with the computer age. The email was to reach out to our membership in an attempt to inform, no more, no less.
For some real humor, go to our union site and read how out of touch some of the geezers actually are with the rest of the industry.

Got it...yes, chip1, I agree with you...
Just to reinforce your point, a great majority of the DAL, UAL, FDX, etc pilots (old geezers!!) making top dollars are also on military retirement...I don't see them turning down those pay rates, retirements, and work rules...that is how out-of-touch some of our guys are.
Point number 2 however,...how about we educate those geezers to those facts? Only through educating those guys, and unity will we get a reasonable CBA next time.

After reading some of the posts on the 1224 forum; Guys that are ready to just go ahead and admit defeat two years before we even get our chance to make a go at improving our lot, I am afraid for our pilot group and the direction we are heading. It's almost like these guys are working for the likes of Purchase in an effort to dilute our efforts going into contract 16. I know those are harsh accusations; but, I'm telling you, from my perspective, that's the way it seems.
