contrary to popular misconception the eu pilots of AACS (gss is just a subset of aacs, so they are not stand-alone, they are all FAA certificated and atlas trained and paid) are cheaper than mainline, that is not correct, in fact AACS pilots are paid substancially MORE than Atlas Mainline pilots, and enjoy a large number of perks and so on that are denied the mainline pilots, not to mention being shielded from being made 'redundant' as has become the fate of over 200 of their far more senior mainline crewmembers. AACS is a sham organization, and GSS is a front for Atlas, pure and simple. The issue has never been eu vs. us, it has always been mgt. vs labor, and I see shortly that the folks at AACS will be in the position of taking sides in that arguement in a very public manner come the first week in July. Remember folks, the people who would cross a picket line to fly struck cargo/airplanes at Atlas would do the same thing to all the carriers in the eu, scabs have no loyalty wherever they come from.
