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.
Pure bovine scat! Atlas was operating AMC and had been almost as long as Polar. Foreign ownership??? What the heck are you talking about? Time for another history lesson?

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.
Polar had 4 slots. Atlas had 10. Now which ones would you give up? And by the way they were ALL scheduled service - so before you say Atlas never had scheduled service, you better review your history.

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.
BS once again. You have no clue what you are talking about. Atlas has been operating in SA as long as Polar with just as good or even better on time record. Perhaps you have proof. I doubt it. Typical.
