I know the issues, but is this really the best solution? Let's hope so, for all the Atlas/Polar guys, as well as pilots in general.
The “integration of two pilot groups” is exactly the issue. ALPA National has done nothing but delay the merger and enable (or worse) the squabbling between the two MECs.

It is significant that the Teamsters first act has been a single carrier petition, and that the NMB wasted little time in deciding in favor. ALPA should have done this in 2001. Think about that – for 7 years ALPA National has let this thing fester.
