Just what are you bitching about Merc and Whale? Your are Atlas not Polar, so stop the vitriol against the Polar MEC and worry about your sorry contract. From what I hear it could use a lot of work.
Pretty hard for Atlas to get to a new contract when Bobbrobin continue to delay delay delay the merger. The merger is going to happen - even Bobbrobin believe this. Why do you think they continue to delay? If they were so sure they had a case they would expedite the thing to arbitration.
Atlas has been without a contract, without a pay raise, without changes to their QOL now for two years - and the reason can be laid directly at Bobbrobins doorstep.
So Atlas pilots are worried about the sorry contract; and that is all they are worried about. You don't think for a moment that really WANT to merge with the Polaroids do you?
