Actually,

Your MEC's actions are affecting about 600 union paying members on the Atlas side of the equation. Polar's constant "IN" , then "MAYBE" and then "OUT" of the merger is not only screwing with your membership but also the Atlas membership. In the constant limbo of Merger "Maybe" or Section 6 "Maybe".

It was obvious Bobb (and Robin) were happy when you thought you were going to be the "surviving carrier". We couldn't merge quick enough. The seniority arbitration seemed to null that quickly. Despite Polar winning the majority of it, you didn't get the bump and flush to get rid of as many Atlas crewmembers as you could. Then the Bobb and Robin show tried getting that via the merger protocols with "follow the flying". The arbitrator pretty much summed that up as "tuff luck boy's, my rulings are binding" and ALPA National even recognized it. All of a sudden, Polar doesn't want to merge any more.

Anyhow, here are about 1500 pages of that arbitration we got on the Atlas side. I'm looking for the arbitors final award copy, but I can't find it at the moment. Think it's on my other computer. 2MB download takes some time:

As to "It's none of your business!" You are absolutely right, up until all of those Polar MEC actions (and Robin H) of continual lying, deceit, personal interest self protection, knuckle dragging, intentionally misleading the Polar membership and anyone else that will listen affects my fellow crewmembers and I. Outside of that, I wouldn't give a flip.

Judging from the number of those contacting me for more info, I've been thinking of starting a website to allow downloads of published info on the merger to inform the Polar membership with the released documents since it is obvious that they are not given anything of the whole truth by their MEC. Drop me a PM to count as a vote for it.
