We are the dedicated pilots of ATI, the largest Amazon Air carrier in the world. We transport millions of packages annually, support U.S. Military operations, provide extra coverage for UPS air cargo, and assist in various other cargo operations.
Our commitment to delivering superior reliability and service has played a pivotal role in the continued success and growth of ATI and its parent company, ATSG. We take immense pride in our professionalism and unwavering dedication.
“ATI pilots have earned the position as the largest Amazon carrier in the world by delivering superior reliability and service, often despite the lack of support by the Company. Through our efforts and professionalism, ATI and ATSG continue to enjoy record revenue and growth. It is imperative that we secure a new contract that reflects the contributions pilots make to the success of our company each day.”
- ATI MEC Chair Capt. Mike Sterling
ATSG is jeopardizing its ACMI customers.
In 2022, 1/4 of ATI pilots left the airline and that number has only grown with more than 1/3 leaving as of October 2023. This level of attrition is not sustainable and will lead to insufficient staffing to support operations. A market-based contract is the only answer to retain skilled, experienced, professional pilots.
ATI refuses to invest in its people, technology, or services. ATI pilots and our other dedicated staff want to continue to provide the outstanding level of service our customers expect, but we do not have the resources to do so.
ATI pilots have delivered unprecedented reliability and earned ATI and ATSG unprecedented earnings. It’s time for a contract that recognizes the effort of its pilots. #LevelUpATI
ATI is hemorrhaging pilots at the rate of more than 20 per month, and is on track to lose more than 40 percent of its experienced pilot workforce by this time next year. This incredible rate of attrition far outpaces other cargo airlines. For as long as management categorizes us as liabilities on their balance sheet rather than the critically valuable assets that we are, the pilot exodus will continue.
We want ATI to succeed and remain a strong partner for Amazon. However, every day without a competitive contract is another day that talented aviators leave for better opportunities elsewhere. We must secure a competitive pilot contract to retain and attract the best talent and ensure our airline remains the world's largest Amazon carrier.
