ATAM 4.30.15

More than the weather is starting to heat up as we approach the summer busy period. 

Today, Mike once again hears from the Company Mole regarding pilot retention and that persistent line item for the company — training costs.

Additionally, we have another reading from the Book of Epic Fail. Mike reads a very well written FCR filed by a crew member highlighting a "Maddening company failure" that includes a lack of transportation on both ends of a charter flight and improper documentation for Customs officials. The crew member said it best: "How long have we been in business"?

We also shine a light on our over-worked and over-abused 767 fleet. How many will be lured to a purple tail in Western Tennessee?

Finally, we would like to remind everyone that the assessment ballots should be arriving at your home. All ballots must be received in Wilmington by Noon on May 26. Any questions about the ballot process should be directed to Jenna Sheely at (937) 635-9585 or toll-free (877) 658-1224.

Thanks for listenting, and please FLY SAFE!

This version of the ATAM brings important information on the mail-in vote for the assessment. Ballots will be distributed shortly and voting will close on May 26th at Noon EDT. Anyone with questions regarding the ballot procedure should contact Jenna Sheely at Local 1224. (937) 655-9585 or toll-free (877) 658-1224.

This ATAM is also packed with two new segments. First, Mike gets an update from a mole inside company headquarters regarding the attitude in Purchase towards the union and the recently concluded review by Princeton University. We are also happy to bring you a pilot retention update that includes a letter from an outgoing crew member.

Of course, no ATAM would be complete without "Epic Fail"! And this one is a doozy...

Thanks for listening, and fly safe!
