So tell me ruger If United went on strike and the passengers all went over to Delta, would those be Delta passengers or would the UAL pilots accuse Delta pilots of being Scabs?
Should the Delta Pilots stand in the door and ask each individual passenger if they were in fact a previous UAL passenger. And then if any of those passengers said "yes I was on a United flight" then the Delta Pilot would refuse to fly?? Why is freight any different?
That's what Polar expected the Atlas pilots to do during their one hour pre-flight. They wanted the Atlas pilots to go through each and every way-bill to try to determine if it was Polar freight and not to fly the aircraft if it had any freight on it that might be considered Polar. How ridiculous is that! There were not, nor are their now, any comprehensive struck freight rules.
In Polar's case they even wanted the Atlas pilots to refuse to fly if the airplane had any freight on it that came from a previous Polar customer.
