From Atlast
Incidentally, POLAR first started by bootstrapping off of Southern's Certificate. Now there's a link!
From BELOWMINS, a few posts above, in response to Atlast:
Actually they both got started using Tower to carry their freight until they got certificates.
Probably the first and last thing they have in common.
Try to keep up willya.

We know.....just a very old catch phrase. Seems you are sure to wear it out at this rate. I've been Teamsters before, you can't imagine what you are in for. Good Luck.

I've only been using it under 2 weeks but yes, I like it because it fits.
Let's quit the rehash and move on.

2...Move for Single Carrier (w/ Cato support).

3...Subsequent vote to pull Polar from ALPA (w/Cato support).

4...Bourne installed at Teamster National.

5...Caputo/Alves/Allen Atlas Teamster positions.

6...Continuous blame of ALPA and Polar for concessionary contract from all of the above (and WhaleFr8) rings suddenly hollow with Atlas membership-

AND THE REGRET AND DISAPPOINTMENT WILL CONTINUE...

At least Dave will still be eating in the same expensive DC restaurants on the membership dime.

So it looks like NWA Cargo is going down the tubes unfortunately, because of DHL shifting to Polar. Thats too bad.

hhhh..... Yet another grievance filed against Atlas today by Polar. Wouldn't be so bad if the remedy requested was not designed to unjustly take jobs and away from Atlas pilots. This one also will be paid for by the entire ALPA membership using an outside counsel. Does the Polar MEC not understand that they are merely the puppets of the newly elected ALPA Treasurer? He doesn't care about them. He just has some ill conceived idea that this will help keep jobs and NWA.

Consistent isn't it?

cptvac: Now your latest diatribe would fit the definiton of a brouhaha.
I will agree with
Honorable representation of his crewmembers is not on Bournes list of To Do items
Of course it's not on his list of to do items! He's already doing it! Is it on the Polar MEC's to do list?

Your points ending "(w/CATO support)".... has he told you that personally?
Please share with us where you get this from after all, this is the forum to hear rumors/rumours.

Caputo/Alves/Allen Atlas Teamster positions
They will have positions if the membership vote for them. We'll have a lot of very good guys vieing for those positions. Maybe some of our Polar sisters might like a shot?

Bourne installed at Teamster National
This will happen wether Atlas go Teamsters or not and has nothing to do with Cato.

AND THE REGRET AND DISAPPOINTMENT WILL CONTINUE...
FOR THOSE THAT DON'T MOVE ON!

Atlast your obviously a politicain, because you have the skills needed to ignore the facts. GOOD LUCK AT TEAMSTERS PLEASE JUST GO. Us actual professional pilots can't wait to shrink that SCAB LIST. By the way who cares who started ya'lls freight airlines. They were smart, they left the business.

I believe you meant Politician, but no I am not. I don't have a college degree and I do not even hold a union position. I am rank and file which brings some honest consistency to this thread.

because you have the skills needed to ignore the facts.
I'm having a tough time pushing aside the rumor and conjecture to find your facts, let alone ignore them!

Us actual professional pilots can't wait to shrink that SCAB LIST.
I gather by this ill informed quote that you are not an ALPA member and not a POLAR airman because both ALPA and the POLAR MEC say extremely publicly that there is no such list. If you are a POLAR airman, then by definition you can not be a professional Pilot by quoting such. What are your true colors Sir/Madam?

It finally dawns on me now, looking at cptvac's posting.

Polar is scared about the Atlas move to Teamsters.

Polar's purchased (by election vote) influence of Pres. Prater to keep a thumb on the Atlas council by removing funding while inequitably providing Polar more council funding, the bureaucratic stalling of the merger, filing grievance after grievance using outside lawyers requiring more National funding, and etc... It will render the current behind the scenes sabotage of the Atlas council by Polar and ALPA National pretty much nullified.

Putting us at least back on equal terms again and they don't like that.

Heck, I would vote Teamsters just so I wouldn't be funding Polar's legal fees used against me from my dues.
