"I don't believe you have any furloughed Pilots left. Do you?"
Plenty of furloughed labor, FR8 (Polar's FEs), also plenty of Atlas classics flying Polar's AMC.. . . .that is - AMC awards that were bid in the name of Polar, but not intended for Polar to fly - Management misrepresentation? Are you listening Mr. Arbitrator?
"Atlas pilots are just convenient whipping boys"
No, should not be - not any more than the Polar MEC. . . Labor is labor. Atlas pilots are just "pilots", indistinguishable from anyone else.
(except they do this screwy uniform thing with exterior epilates).
