I can't answer that with facts. I do have a theory. Rumors have swirled that Amazon and DHL gave Atlas an ultimatum, as they are unwilling to go into the fourth quarter with the negative visibility and overall vulnerability they faced last fourth quarter (ABX Strike). I think this is a stab in the dark to appease the customers knowing that we won't stop flying in case of another strike. Just a Hail Mary to avoid having to pay up. I believe they are desperate and will try anything. It's totally baseless. I quoted only a part of the EXCO update, the full update explains their arguement to the arbitrator is "they never read that sentence in question throughout the entire process five years ago and they believe the union pulled a fast one..........You can't make this **** up.
