BA,
Here's another issue to consider. The word is out than your MEC is implying that if Polaroids vote ALPA and ALPA wins, he'll push to get an Polar LEC. Just what we need, more divisiveness. We would just get more of the fighting we've had since 2001. Good for management, bad for pilots.
I don't think most of us, Polar or Atlas would want to deal with that crap anymore. It's time to move on and join forces, in spite of the pi$$ poor timing.
