But... I thought everything that was "wrong" at AAWH was Polar's fault!?
Just ask cfire, s/he'll tell ya!
I suppose that depends on what your specifically talking about. Financially, working conditions for the Atlas crewmembers, or just the lack of union council to council solidarity of the Polar group to the Atlas crewmembers. The same Atlas crews who have been the only cargo airline in ALPA history to hold a sympathy strike for another airline per ALPA legal claims. Rewarded with nothing but spite/accusations/false charges by the Polar MEC and council members under their MEC guidance.
Charges and false accusations by Polar that ALPA would not hear initially and then later held an alternative dispute resolution hearing that cleared the accused names when the Polar MEC took their accusations and names to a public bulletin board via one of their flunkies. This hearing was later referred to as the "ADR" in which the Polar MEC did not have the balls or character to show up for under the ADR request. Also indicating the validity of Polars original claims.
All resulting in the ALPA President Prater having to apologize for Polar and ALPA to the falsely accused Atlas crewmembers. Here is the link for the download that is also on the ALPA site and will be in the Jan/Feb ALPA magazine. Contains the PDF of the ADR findings also.

If financially, here is some evidence that was also presented to the ADR panel in a flash "click on image" slide show to continue to the next slide.

So while everything isn't Polars fault, they sure have screwed everyone including themselves while grabbing at everything they could get.
Why don't you do something constructive like we do at the Atlas council. Something like helping others get jobs exampled by the Atlas council with the Kitty Hawk furloughed for one or go I.P. Freley up a rope.
