From what I and a number of third party witnesses remember of history, every time Atlas stood up for themselves they were quickly betrayed by their sister council on a number of levels. Such as when Polar requested relief from the agreed upon struck work rules to further gain more Atlas flying/aircraft. Probably to claim later under Polar's scope clause forever and always like they did with the Atlas flying/aircraft shifted to Polar to make a negotiating point to the Atlas crews prior to the strike.
We had plenty of spine to go on a sympathy strike for Polar despite their previous actions to gain at Atlas crews expense until the Federal Court ordered us back to work. We did it when no one else would. Then we get blamed for all of their lack of planning.
