Polar Questions

[Rhoid]

Laugh now whalerider and gcd, just try and laugh when you are in that interview room in SDF! Remember what happened to the challenge crews.

If, and I repeat If UPS is interested in Atlas/Polar, the ONLY things they would want are Polar's routes and the 747-400s. They most definately would not take the crews outright and the BEST that you guys could hope for would be an interview to the bottom of the UPS seniority list. But then again, remember what happened to challenge.

Rhoid,

I don't see where we were laughing at UPSer. I was just making a point about there being enough share for all of us!

I was also trying to make a point about professionalism in our ranks, which you obviously missed by tanting us about losing our jobs, which will not happen.

UPS didn't even give the Challenge guys an interview or a reach around!!!

The information I got was that Challenge was largely composed of ex-Pan Am SCABS. Have you heard differently or are you for harmoniously integrating SCABS onto your seniority list?

Another PRE-MADONNA!!

UPSer..... If I remember correctly, UPS started out as a "BOTTOM FEEDER" composed of Missfits whom no one would hire...Whos to say that Polar might someday grow into a power-house airline..Polar did not acquire route authority into Narita, 5th freedom rights slots into HongKong-Manila-Incheon, and most recently 9 China slots because of our good MANNERS...We have earned this through hard work, determination, and good service..Besides, we might not make "THE BIG BUCKS" like you guys do , but I bet you'r yearly salary that we have more FUN than any of you BROWN boys... Oh by the way, we don't have anyone loocking over our shoulder and we dont get repremanded for over-burning or being 2 minutes late.... Good luck with you'r carreer, and let the rest of us earn our bread and butter as best we can..

PS.. Our uniforms are better loocking than you'rs.....

Maybe, but UPSer's W2 is bigger than yours!!!! And that's what really counts!

Over you'r head

I Guess you MISSED THE WHOLE POINT!!! Besides, 3rd year f/o at polar has a 6 figure earning potential..That's how good our rigs are. But that's another subject.. I'm not arguing that UPS is a better Co. with better pay and bennies than Polar. But my "POINT" IS. We are not a "bottom feeder" we are a fairly new Co. with incredible potential for growth and a real THORN in UPS's turf.
By the way..Good luck with you'r search for a MAJOR AIRLINE job....If you are interested, Polar is hiring

Quick question for a buddy of mine. He is in his mid 30's and Polar Captain. He is happy at Polar and makes about $120,000 year. He has a class date at SWA. What would you do????

Two points you failed to mention. 1- To earn 6 figures at 3rd yr pay, you have no life left for yourself and 2- If indeed Polar ever becomes a THORN in UPS' turf, UPS will find a way to make Polar go away.

Your ego may not let you think that Polar is a "bottom feeder", but the fact remains that Polar's pay is definately in the "bottom feeder" category. Since you brought it up, third yr guarantee is approx $54K a yr. To make 6 figures, you would have to totally whore yourself out. If flying a whale as a senior captain for $103K guarantee and no retirement is not "bottom feeder" category, I don't know what is.
