I think Polar crews would sell us out again if the price was right.
I could care less what the previous guys did, nor will I let them say what I will do in the future. In case you haven't noticed, the pilots hired over the last 3 years(and there are quite a few) have no idea what happened back then nor do they care either. Most of the "newbies" at both Atlas and Polar are retreads from the Majors that were butchered after 9/11. We saw mgmt. and the MEC's (yes the MEC's had a hand in it) sell the junior guys down the river, give away routes to RJ's, and allow different pilot groups to be played against each other (mainlines and regionals....very very similar to what is being done to Atlas/Polar)
Pretty much 100% of them learned from the experience. That lesson? Never ever allow mgmt. to take advantage of one side of the company by using the other side of the company. Too bad you have not had the chance to see first hand how bad it can really get. Atlas and Polar have been insulated from the really bad stuff. I am not talking about the day to day ops. I am speaking of guys with 35 years in getting his entire pension wiped out, or guys that had been retired for 10 years losing their pension!!
The squabbling among Polar and Atlas about what happened last time is meaningless and only takes you one step closer to the free for all blood fest that is what used to be the largest carriers in the world.
