Routes

"I believe it was LH, AMC and those S.A. routes Atlas had that were quickly moved over to Polar"
Nitty - Your beliefs are all incorrect.
LH - Looked back in my logbook. Polar was operating LH ACMI with PRATT powered classics before anything to do with AAWH.
AMC - Atlas never operated AMC due to foreign ownership until after Michael Chowdry's death. Polar was operating AMC long before Atlas thought of it. In fact, the shifting has been the other way around. Cato and company shifted almost all of Polar's AMC award to Atlas until Evergreen blew the whistle. Polar then has flown it's contractual 10%. The Atlas classics have had an AMC gold mine due to this shift.
S.A. - We have been over this before. Both Polar and Atlas had SA authorities. The DOT forced AAWH to give up one of them. Cato, of course, dropped Polar's. The SA customers became unhappy with Atlas' service and continued screw ups, and demanded that Polar operate this route, which we did until DHL. This fliying was not "shifted" either.
