Atlas Air and crewmembers agree on labor contract
June 28,2002 -- Atlas Air Inc. and the Airline Pilots Association early today reached a tentative agreement for a first labor contract. Both parties have agreed to keep the details of the contract confidential at this time.
“We believe this contract is both good for the company, and good for crewmembers, and meets the criteria we established for the resolution of this process,” says CEO Richard Shuyler. “I am pleased with the agreement we have reached, and I am proud of the valuable contribution that our experienced, professional pilots and flight engineers make to Atlas Air.”
"I am pleased we were able to reach an agreement that will allow Atlas Air and its crewmembers to move forward," says Captain David Bourne, chairman of the Atlas Air crewmember unit of the Air Line Pilots Association International.
The contract is subject to ratification by ALPA’s membership. Ratification will take place over next several weeks.
