Atlas Air demise
No matter how much of bickering and whining there would be on either side of the Atlantic
you both group of pilots are only proving Atlas Air management strategy right.
AACS is no news in the aviation industry. ACS HKG was created by the Cathay Pacific management to form the Cathay Pacific CARGO chapter within CPA back in 1996. The only victims?? Americans, who blindly accepted jobs also on a B744 fleet, but had to pay the price of vindictive CPA management, and CPA instructor pilots who made their lives misserably. This British brand of pilots was later dubbed "FILTH", that additional to the obvious meaning, the maze was decifered: "Fail in London, Try HKG".
I hope the fate of the new faces in STN would turn into better fortune.
