Atlas getting the Dreamlifter

[tubineotter]

What say any of you over ther at atlas. rumor or factoid?

 

[Zoneload]

Why...

 

[tubineotter]

Not everyone thinks like DS. "No work is better than cheap work"

Expansion is expansion. Atlas is aggressive to grow and expand.

 

[Zoneload]

But I think Boeing would need a reason to get rid of us. We have done a good job so far flying air around.

 

[Classicdriver]

Nope, nothing like that going around. Didn't they just paint one in Evergreen colors?

The word is Atlas, pulled out of the competition because Boeing demanded dedicated crews.

 

[spitfire1500]

That rumor circulates every year at Evergreen.

 

[tubineotter]

guess we will know by next month.

 

[Fliteidol]

I heard that too again recently. This time from a usually very reliable source. Supposed to be effective in the summer! I guess Atlas have Boeing`s ear while they introduce the -8. Many deals in the works, what will transpire is anyones guess.

Rumors, Rumors, Rumors

Believe it when I see it!

 

[tubineotter]

now that evergreen has all the start up leg work out of the way it will be a pretty quick turn key op. for atlas.

Boeing owes Delta lots of money (787) maybe it will be DAL.

Nice try. Evergreen turn you down? Pretty sad.

Au contraire.......I believe he was accepted for employment and reciprocated. This is just idle speculation, nothing malicious so far!

If Tubine Otter is new to EZ he should just settle down, relax and he will see that this is just a normal 5 year review built into the LCF 20 YEAR CONTRACT.

If he is a long time EZ Pilot then he would know that management likes to start little rumors to create distrust and havoc among the flight crewmembers. This is just a rumor started by management (and circulated and expanded by gossipy crewmembers) to draw attention away from contract negotiations and to throw another roadblock in the way of the coming work action.

Over the past 2 years there have been alot of rumors regarding the LCF Contract. Here are the top 5:

1. Del SOLD the contract to Atlas
2. Del SOLD the contract to Connie
3. Boeing paid Del off and is taking the contract back and operating the LCF's themselves
4. Boeing is shutting down the 787; and the LCFs
5. Fed Ex is buying EZ just to get the LCF's and firing all the crews!

All the rumors are total crap! Again, the 20 YEAR CONTRACT has built in 5 year reviews. That is all this is.

It's much more than that. Atlas is a tier 1 customer. Boeing will do almost anything to keep them happy. So with the 747-800 delayed, they could throw Atlas a bone. The LCF contract. If you have been here a long time you know Del can and will screw anything up. Evergreen has a 100% on time record. We will know the 1 of March.
