My Atlas friends tell me that this is just the latest battle in what they describe as an unbelievably long and painful war that didn't have to happen.. .. .That Atlas management would pit the Polar pilots against the Atlas pilot was a forgone conclusion from the moment the acquisition of Polas was announced.. .. .The old Polar -100s were / are headed for scrap as soon as they run out of time. Pronouncements of ALPA solidarity notwithstanding, is it reasonable to expect Polar crews to refuse to fly the -200s / -300s being transferred by the parent corporation to their certificate and thus 'fall on their sword' and forfeit their jobs for their Atlas brethren?. .. .An unfortunate and sad place to work right now - all the more so as Atlas might have been a great place to be at one time.. .. .Ex-Lorenzo types indeed - has anyone heard from L.... since gave her heartfelt "...we'll make this a better place..." speech in Purchase on the occasion of the memorial service for M.... last year?
