Any Polar pilots out there who could give a good description of a typical (or your last) schedule or work-week with routes and layovers? Also, would newhires likely be based out of JFK - if not, where? And, what is the likelihood of being hired into the 400 vs. the 200?

Sounds like a great opportunity!

It can't hurt to apply, but...

I have a source on the inside that says no hiring until next year--if at all.

The parent company is bankrupt (but that hasn't stopped other companies from continuing to hire).

I'm very skeptical.
Fly safe.

Parent company is not bankrupt yet. Hiring has been continuous for the past year. Every couple of months there has been a class. Most new hires have gone to the 400. The only base is JFK. Work for the most part is 2 weeks on 2 weeks off.

Polar pilots,

Please put me straight if you have a different take on this situation.

AWW Holdings was trying to grow both companies, instead of hiring big guns on one company and furloughing at the other. In order to do this balancing act, AWW was wet leasing Atlas airplanes on Polar routes, with the MEC approval, in order to allow Atlas to grow and not furlough. At the same time AWW was allowing Polar to hire at a slow rate to man those routes in the future.

Now, all of a sudden, the Polar MEC is demanding that AWW quit wet leasing the routes to Atlas IMMEDIATELY and staff them all by Polar pilots. That means Atlas will have to furlough and Polar will have to do jump-through-the-hole type of hiring and traing. Oh, and by the way, Atlas pilots must resign before they are allowed to interview for Polar.

Do you have a different take?

Another oh, by the way: Atlas pilots have agreed to not fly any Polar routes if you guys go on strike. If memory serves me, Polar pilots were ready to fly Atlas routes and cargo when they were in the 11th hour of negotiations. Do you have a different memory?

I guess I am just stirring the bucket, but I haven't seen nor heard any comment about this situation. The above is the perspective at Atlas. I want to hear something from the Polar perspective. The last thing I want is to fight with my Polar brothers, but it looks like your MEC is picking the fight with us.

GCD, you are exactly right. My Ex Polar brothers are screwing Atlas again! Polar has always lost money and Atlas is paying the price. Just my 2 cents. Enjoy.




Yes, Polar did say they would fly Atlas cargo in the 11th hour, now they are paying the price in their negotiations. Polar is going to be stuck with the same contract that Atlas settled for because Polar took away our bargaining power by saying they would fly our cargo.

I feel better now.
