Under your staffing scenario, Polar had a 25-30% surplus of crewmembers in some sort of standby mode? Ummmm...NO.
"Prevailed" is a relative term...there is more to the merger issue than the Seniority Integration (in which Polar indeed prevailed judging by the Atlas whining on this very forum). Because there is more, there is no merger.

I can safely say there is no brotherhood here. Speaking for myself, I have done nothing for you or in your name and do not intend to. If, however, you ever find yourself in the unfortunate circumstance of being on strike--I will never--not one time--cross your picket line, fly your freight, or wish evil upon you. Not because I would be doing you a favor, but because it is wrong. Clear?
