I don't know anything, ok?

But I *think* there might be a question about semantics here.

The statement in bold could be read two different ways.

1) Flight deck crew members are "integrated"--or mixed--as well as cabin crews.

Or...

2) Atlas flight deck crews working with Angolan flight attendants.

I'm no linguist (and apparently neither is the original writer of the memo), but I think #2 is what was meant.

To put a finer point on it: World already has their own cabin crews so it's logical they would have more resistance in that "dept".

But for Atlas, it's easier to "integrate" THEIR cabin crews with OUR flight deck crews.

Just my opinion.
