Actually you were already flying 5 A/C and routes at the cost of @170 crewmembers prior to the Atlas strike countdown. You know, back when Polar was saying they were saving both companies instead of the Negotiating tactic that it was to make Atlas crews bend (the saving by Polar part was dispelled later during the bankruptcy filing). Then Polar requested relief from struck work rules minutes prior to the strike release. Gee, kind of a shame no one told the Atlas side how you chased down Fell and corrected that before his famous 20 minute call to us prior to the strike. Thanks for that help there guys.
Trash-
The current contract would be in force. It's at
http://atlasforteamsters.com for a lot of the answers. Let alone under the NMB and RLA rules if you want to download that and go through it. I would suggest doing so as an independent check. More than likely, we will be considered under single carrier status such as the AWA-USAir situation I put up for download a page back in pdf.
As far as time lines, it would probably be quicker than the current merger - no merger BS PID fiasco at ALPA that is serving just a few and holding up any contract negotiations merged or not on either the Atlas or Polar side.
