From an ignorant perspective, do both row in the same direction?. I'm thinking shared goals/strategies, good coordination, etc.
And wouldn't make more sense to be represented just by one Local? as a group.
There are no more Polar pilots anymore (well, there's a Chief Pilot, but that's just required to keep the certificate). Atlas and Polar flights are all operated by Atlas Air crew members. While the Atlas and Southern groups are currently represented by two different Locals, once the integrated seniority list is complete, all crewmembers will be represented by the same Local.
