FWIW without the Polar scheduled service there would've been no lender willing to provide DIP financing resulting in Atlas liquidating in 2003.
hahahah Perhaps you are right - of course the real REALITY is that without the purchase of the nearly bankrupt Polar operation and the drain that their non-integrated and highly unprofitable scheduled service placed on Atlas, there would have been no need for dip financing.
No Polar = no bankruptcy.
