Sorry if I clouded the issues with facts.
Regarding the six month extension. Do you REALLY think that six extention had any affect on Atlas? Look at when we reached our 30 cooling off. Okay, back that off six months and where does that leave us? Your CBA would have still been in place for a couple of years? Do suggest we pulled an illegal job action? Atlas folks wouldnt even enforce a legal job action!
About our MEC at a piniic during your final hours? I dont know, I wasnt there, but to think Polar pilots would cross a picket line? Well, you drank too much Cato koolaid to believe that one.
By the way, how can you deem an ACMI contract as "struck"?
Dont get mad, I'm just asking...
If you had a picket line in front of ops, it would be honored regardless of what was in the airplane. A point many Atlas crews failed miserably at seeing.
And at times the sky is blue!
