I don't think the merged means a darned thing. What will company get? Two different CBA's, two different certificates, and two different unions. Atlas may make Cato happy and go to the Teamsters, but Polar won't. I don't see mixed crews for a long time, and if you ever do, the Polar no fly list will be very long.
Besides, with the economies of the world the way they are, and the price of fuel neither company may be around that much longer anyway. The first hint of more losses and the bean counters will close up shop, then open the doors again under a different name and non-union. Happened before, will happen again. Remember who runs these outfits, the lowest of life forms.
