Evergreen Sues Boeing

[WrldWide]

Or maybe Fr8Dog does not appreciate remarks like "bottom feeders" when Atlas today pays better then same legacy carrier...
Do you think only FDX and UPS employees should be proud of their employer?

Maybe Fr8Dog can correct me, but....they may be the best paid now, nearing the pre-2000 wages of some other pax folks, but that is immaterial. What is striking to me is this individuals elitist attitude toward another professional pilot based solely on the apparent success of the company that he currently works for, which I might add, he has contributed, as an individual, in such a miniscule way. Can we please stop this my company is better than your company BS. We all fly big, small, in-between sized airplanes.
The cheerleading is nausious. That is what I am trying to say.
Good luck Evergreen, Good luck Atlas, whatever......
Flight Info and APC are wide open for this sort of endeavor, can we please keep this forum a little above the chaff?

Sure, just stop posting!
Just kidding!
On a more serious note, the 2nd tier outfits have been mocked for ages by all the pilots of the “more established” carriers, and all of a sudden one of those is mixing it up with the big ones, I think a sense of pride is understandable. While the fact that Atlas wages are now similar to Legacy carriers is due to the concession given by some “more illustrious “ colleagues, it also proves that Atlas management has been able to ride the downturn without the same request to its workforce, which is no small feat..

Granted. But as one pilot to another....c'mon. What are the deadly sins? What management does management does, we fly airplanes. I respect you, you respect me, the rest is nothing but.....you get my drift, I hope.

Today is today, Tomorrow is tomorrow.

By the sound of it you would think that Atlas gave birth to you, so defensive. You're loyalty is amazing, I doubt the feeling is mutual.
Cheers

Sorry it took so long to get back to you, been out on a 9 day trip.

Loyalty, yes! I started flying box's when you were just 3 year old. Atlas is the best Company I have worked for in the 40 years that I have been doing this for a living, and I have worked for quite a few! They also show us that the feeling in mutual from time to time. 26k profit sharing check was kind of a nice thing in March. Not to shabby for a "Bottom Feeder".

Not bad at all, actually.
I never could understand why some in legacy carriers look down their collective noses at smaller (yet profitable) aircarriers...especially when some of the smaller aircarrier guys earn (perhaps) more, especially if it's tax free.
This is generally called....smiling all the way to the bank.

Hate to, but....

ahhhh........, that would be BOXES. Sorry, but just had to say it. It is true though, every now and then, some of us do fall into a good job, or should I say, some of us fall into a job that turns good.........
