bman said:When Atlas was in nego a few (3) years ago it was widely believed that Polar's union chose to work in its own self intrest (right or wrong for them) and undercut Atlas's efforts for their first contract. Examples of this are offering to fly Atlas's struck feight in the 11th hour and signing a six month contract extention so Mgmt wouldn't have to nego. with both groups at the same time (3 cheers for unity).
It does not matter what side you ask because this did happen!!! I was there!!! Polar took a six month extension and did say they had to fly the stuck freight in the 11th hour!!! The Polar pilots voted for the extension and their MEC said they would fly the struck freight. If any Polar pilot who was there at that time disagrees with this please speak up. I know the MEC was fired 2 weeks later, but it did happen! I don't even work at Atlas anymore, but I'm still bitter. The pilots at Polar are a good group like anywhere else but they did screw the Atlas pilots and now they are paying for it. It's Karma.
Just remember the enemy is Cato and the Evil Empire!!!
