Atlas Cargo
One of the reasons that Atlas has had a drop in business is that it is continually undermining its ACMI customers by contacting the cargo interest who are contracted to its ACMI customer and offering them 'better rates' than those offered by the ACMI operator. Atlas, in Europe and Africa, doesn't know if it is an airline or an ACMI supplier. It offers deals to cargo customers on behalf of its captive partners (TNT, Emirates, etc.) and files fifth freedom applications on the routes operated on AOCs by its ACMI customers. With this kind of sabotage, Atlas is not everyone;'s first choice for ACMI or voyage charter.
So, if you are wondering why business is bad you should know that the same management types that are screwing the pilots are also screwing their customers.This is not likely to improve.
