If an airline suffers a strike then the passengers are rebooked onto other carriers who are usually happy to accept the extra revenue. The stuck freight does not belong to Polar, it belongs to the shippers and their clients. All the shipper has to do is to claim back the pallets, repack them, and send them with someone else. There are plenty of carriers with spare capacity to do this, and within a few days there will be no such thing as 'Polar' freight.
The Polar pilots have chosen the wrong time to make a stand. I wish you well, but please don't try to destroy the lives of the Atlas pilots who are trying to earn a living in difficult times.
