Pilots are claiming Atlas Air’s decision to seek an injunction against industrial action is evidence of the carrier’s efforts to “reject responsibility around declining pilot supply”.

September 27, 2017 at 6:26 pmThis is the 3rd time this company is suing its pilot group in less than a year. They aren’t negotiating a new industry standard contract in good faith, instead they keep blaming their employees for their complete lack of leadership. The only thing these “business men” are doing is stuff their pockets with the profits that many people have worked hard for years in order to bring this company where it is today, and they also keep their lawyers rich and busy by suing their own employees. What a shame!
