Lance, your post was so full of holes, that have been gone over again and again, I just chose the latest attempt at BS, with the "sub" flights.
Another example is that Fell agreed to fly
SIX not 30, planes. They were on the China Air contract, our ace in the hole! Four extra days by each Polaroid could have covered it. It was very regular scheduled flying.
The 2005 strike was as much a lockout as a srike. All Polar planes were parked, so of course you had 100%. Kinda like a whore bragging about giving up sex but not mentioning she had moved to a deserted island.
Your MEC might want to actually invole your vice-chairman and hear what the FO's really think. They might disagree with "The Polar pilot group is a solid, staunch, unified group." Most are "afraid " to say anything, or don't have a clue about what is taking place.
NOONE at Atlas or Polar is or will ever be enslaved....
This thread has lost direction again....sorry.
