Actually, "we all" can't agree on that in any way. Why should I take YOUR word for it over that of people who told me in person about these experiences? Or is it only stories told by deadheaders that are untrue? How about stories told in airport vans or in crew rooms? Are those fabricated too?

And you decry the "propaganda" from the Polar side, as if noone from Atlas ever makes claims that are of dubious merit... all while minimizing the validity of that which "your" people claim is happening to them. The fact that those same people aren't posting in this thread doesn't mean that they're not saying these things.

Now if these Atlas folks are making these claims erroneously, that's a bizarre bit of behavior that is difficult for any of us to explain... But don't try to paint me or anyone with your "we can all agree" brush (I know, I know, just another contrary Polar crewmember, right?).

I believe that the combined crew force is close to 1,000 people. If a relatively few random interactions during deadheading (or in crew vans or crew rooms) have sufficient meaning for you to go ahead and form broad opinions of hundreds of others… well, have at it.

I should have said “most of us”. Because I do have faith that when the merger is done "most of us", indeed the vast majority of us, will fly together without any problems.
