STRUCK WORK POLICIES OF THE ATLAS MEC
A. POLAR –
No flying of additional aircraft compared to pre-strike levels, or picking up of Atlas customers, freight, or routes.
1. Limiting Polar Fleet to Pre-Strike levels -- no additional Atlas or unplanned additional aircraft to Polar after the strike deadline. This will consist of comparing operations to the existing Polar Fleet pre- strike (including taking into account the preexisting previously announced fleet enlargement plan and schedule). Operation of any new additional aircraft or transfers of aircraft from Atlas (previously owned, leased or operated by Atlas) would be considered struck work. Previously planned and “already in the pipeline” additional aircraft or transfers of aircraft from Atlas would not be considered struck work. This means that Polar crews may continue to operate their previously scheduled operations and aircraft, as well as any additional aircraft whose deliveries to Polar were legitimately planned prior to May 28, 2002 but may not have been delivered prior to 1201AM June 28, 2002. Operation of any additional Polar capacity in the form of any additional aircraft beyond that would be considered stuck work. The Atlas MEC will closely coordinate on this issue with the Polar MEC.
2. Prohibiting Polar from picking up Atlas customers, freight or routes. Limiting Polar to pre-strike traditional “Polar” flying. If Polar attempts to pick up customers, freight or routes flown by Atlas, it would be considered struck work. Again, the Atlas MEC will closely coordinate on this issue with the Polar MEC.
B. AACS – No flying of Atlas Aircraft (i.e., owned, leased or operated) or routes.
1. AACS crewmembers not to fly any Atlas aircraft.
2. AACS crewmembers not to fly routes flown by Atlas pre-strike.

2. Foreign and Domestic Pilot Groups

· No operation under contract which financially benefits Atlas (except for preexisting dry-leases of Atlas aircraft predating the strike).
