Merger?
You stated the facts." Untill both groups agree to some kind of merger plan" This can take two years or more... Who knows what can happen in the next two years. DO YOU?? One thing is certain, no one here at Polar is going to roll over and get stapled to the bottom of SOMEONE ELSES SENIORITY LIST!!!!! If there is a merger in the FAR future, then it will be a negotiated FAIR and EQUITABLE merger...I, for one, don't care to be around to see it...... I'M GOING TO DISNEY!$#@!$#@%$^%

Polar World
To answer you'r tread 5$world, a tipical month is composed of 16 days on, usually in a row. No junior manning for line holders. If on reserve, the co. can extend you up to 3 days. For the first day of extension you get 2 hrs+ 4.3 or whatever you fly(wichever is greater), on the second day 4 hrs.+ 4.3(same rule applies), and on the third you get 6 hrs.+4.3 (same rule applies) If you stay out 19 days (16+3) you get approx 96 hrs of pay....Not too bad. All pilots are assigned to JFK. The co. pays for the hotel during reserve at JFK, however, you will get taxed on the hotel..... This is an issue that we are trying to resolve.... Starting pay is $56/hr (I beleive) with a 65 hr guar. Working conditions are not bad, however, the days do get loooong. If you have no prior international experience, I suggest that you read up on some of the stuff. Flying international is a whole different BALL GAME... Standard does not COMPUTE..The guys on the property are GREAT.. alot of talent.. we have some PAnAm, Braniff, Eastern, Tower, and Kalitta guys that have been "around the block" a few times...If you'r interested, stay tuned. Rummor is we need to hire 30 pilots to fill in attrition requirements..... GOOD LUCK

Wow, B-atch,
You get wound up pretty easily.
No one is suggesting that there will be anything but a fair merger, even if it means you are senior to me. No reasonable person at Atlas wants to screw anyone over because most of us have been around the airline industry for a long time. Most of us have been screwed before, and don't want anyone else to go through it.
If a merger does happen (if it happens), I'm certain it will be well thought out.
By the way, I think it is very professional of you to answer the questions posed.
