Nevertheless, it is undisputed that Atlas is no longer regularly flying Polar cargo for Polar revenue. Polar is asserting that certain flying that Atlas is doing, carrying Atlas cargo for Atlas revenue on Atlas Aircraft, is really Polar flying because this flying just happens to be between city pairs that Polar had served at one time in the past, or is a type of flying (i.e. military charter) that Polar has also done in the past.
Now ain't that just simply astonishing. Polar customers, Polar freight, on Polar scheduled service one day and then with a flick of the magic wand, SHEZAMM, out of the smoke and mirrors, the same freight just magically arises out of the dust cloud as Atlas freight. Just frigging amazing.
But what would one expect out of Atlas ACMI. After all, that is your business by definition, isn't it? Showing up on other airline and operators property and flying their freight. Their crews, jobs, and upgrades be damned, especially if they don't have scope protection in their contracts to protect them from scavengers.
To all the other operators out there, you might want to pay attention, cause Atlas crews have no beef at all showing up on your doorstep and flying your freight, but then afterall, according to Atlas crews it wasn't really your freight to begin with, ITS ALL THEIRS, their just doing their jobs.
