Terminated
Apparently, AABO pilots were terminated effective this month. I was told this personally by one of the pilots that dead headed on my leg.
I am a new pilot, 15 months, at Atlas, so I don't want to get into the politics of it all. I liked flying with the many of the AABO pilots, but it seems that they were on borrowed time. I have listened to all sides of the story over the last year, and I am actually sympathetic to all parties.
It was a bad move by management from the get go, and now it has been set straight, but not without hurting many people in the process.
There is a serious lack of leadership at Atlas Air, which is really sad because it is a great company in so many ways. I hope to be back to work soon, but who knows?
