It appears that the Polar selective amnesia of history has kicked in again and/or that dreaded Stockholm syndrome from your MEC captors has reared it's head again. There are plenty of old threads with that already on it. Some still with the documented history of the events. Just use the search bar. One side provides documented facts, the other side only blandishments.
On another note, the Polar MEC did attend their Article 8 hearing at ALPA National. At least the MEC Chairman and Neg. Chairman did on the charges filed by the Atlas MEC for violations of a number of the ALPA code of ethics and Bylaws. Decision should be rendered in one to two weeks.
The new DHL flying seems to be running pretty smoothly. I think there was one hickup on a last minute 11,000 kg payload over flight plan resulting in a new flight release requiring more fuel uploading. Resulting in a delay.
