I believe the method used by the Polar MEC to describe the situation in his message was done so purposely to incite the pilot groups to go at each others throats. So it seems the chairman is not so concerned about the -200 captain, but wants to use him as a new platform to generate hate. Thus resulting in all the background on the terminated captain by us. You should thank your MEC chairman for that.
As to his termination. You rarely get fired for the things the company really wants to fire you over. You get fired for the stuff that will keep the company out of court later on or can prove without doubt to an arbiter. Corporate 101.
Atlas crews still have the highest section 19 rate in all of ALPA against them as of last year by their company. Kind of shows what we have to deal with regularly. Having followed through a few section 19's, evidence is provided and the dog an pony show goes on among the parties. Then the person gets terminated normally, unless it becomes exceedingly obvious that the company is wrong. At that point, they go to arbitration while the guy is unemployed. We have done very well in arbitration, but many times than not, the guy doesn't get paid for the time at the beginning of the termination to being put back to work.
So I suggest everyone think about that before trying to carry out what the Polar MEC wants.
