I do not work for Atlas/AACS or Polar, but didn't the US Government give some substantial amount of US taxpayers' dollars to Atlas Air after 9/11 ?? . .. .Bush Administration's message was clear, that the reason for this swift action was to help save US jobs in the Airline industry ??. .. .Now the AAMT is trying to "export" US jobs to Europe ?? . .. .It is quite an irony, that the Atlas guys paid (in form of US taxes) to have their jobs taken away, as Atlas is shifting some of their 747's to Europe. . .. .Any comments ??. . . . <small>[ 24 March 2002, 19:57: Message edited by: Avius ]</small>
