Not anti-Polar at all. Just tired (as are many of us) of getting screwed by the Polar MEC (this one and the past). We could bullet point all of the reasons yet again, but they are many, and have already been covered numerouse times by Merc, as well as myself, and others.
What we are tired of RIGHT NOW, is the delaying tactics of Bobbrobin. Your MEC is costing all of us (Atlas and Polar) a new contract and a pay raise. And the untruths, half truths, and general disinformation posted by most of you on this board, and others, deserves a response.
If you think that makes me a hot-head then so be it. You mention your 16 days a month and your RS days etc etc. Atlas pilots have not even had a chance to get to that point because your MEC has been delaying this whole thing, including the Atlas pilots contract. In some peoples opinion, this could be because Robin made a statement to Cato that he would "never wear an Atlas uniform." If this is true, it is just one more element in the screwing of the Atlas crewmember by an MEC that has admitted it thinks all ACMI carriers are scabs. It sucks that one man's pride is having a such a huge impact on 750 crewmembers at Atlas.
