Yes. Don Hickey, formerly Boeing Engineer (was involved with the Cargo Door modification programme), asked by Michael Chowdry in person to move to Atlas. He's the one who got the Asian contracts together with Michael. Seems he did leave because he could not work for Wraight (but that is an unconfirmed rumour). According to well informed people this was no 'retirement'!

Stanley is the top sales guy for Atlas, ex KLM, so Robert knows him. Some people like Stanley, others hate him, no in between.

Actually, all these people are Atlas Holdings (or whatever they call it) and have to try to sell. Probably very difficult if you have to explain to your customer that the newest company you have bought is your customer's competition. Will be fun to watch, but if I were a pilot at Atlas or Polar I'd run as fast as I can.
