Rick Schuyler was offered and accepted a 40% raise at the shareholders meeting that was picketed by his pilots two weeks ago. Yet he continues to cry "poor mouth", refuses to look for any new business, and refuse to give his pilots any kind of pay raise. I agree with GTI 001 I can't wait to shut this company down.
For those requesting an example of pay, a 3 year -400 F/O makes just under 43,000 USD a year, while working (away from home) as many as 340 hours per month (the average worker in the US is away from home for work about 160 hours per month).
Rick Schuyler made $440,000 USD last year plus 5.2 million in "other compensation" and 5.2 million in stock options. (source is YAHOO financial) All this while the stock nosedived from around 45.00 USD per share to less than 4.00 USD per share at the close of the market Friday. Why is he still employed at Atlas?
None of the pilots want to see this company close. However, we have not recieved a pay raise in the 9 years of this companies existance, the work rule are **** poor and the retirement is non-existant. All the while, the robber barrons that run the place are reaping the rewards of our labor. Are we pissed off ? YOU BET are we willing to strike ? YOU BET Do we care if the company sinks? not as long as Schuyler and the rest of his Lorenzo clones are at the helm
