Titan is an airplane leasing company. Atlas has always had affiliations such as this. Atlas Leasing I, II, and III and some others. I doubt it will morph into a crew leasing company.
Atlas' position has always been that AACS/AABO are contract employees (they have their own separate contract) and any discussion about putting them on the merged list was improper. I have always been surprised that the militant Polar negotiating committee was not even interested in fighting the company on that one issue. Oh well - more water over the dam.
As far as AACS/AABO and the Teamsters goes, you would have to ask the teamsters folks. During the start of AACS, Bob Weatherly (VP ops Atlas) told us that EU law precluded the AACS crewmembers from being in an American Union. We were pretty sure at the time that this was BS but who knows.
