The MBA brain trust in Purchase are just going to their one and only play book, to be fair it worked well for them in a different time and in a very different climate. Those here long enough have been down the road of AABO, AACS and GSS and lived through furloughs and threats of furlough during the Polar/Atlas amalgamation. The stooges in Purchase really think will will fold like a cheap suit to get our hands on a bunch of 767's, send them to FW for all I care. I would rather be a First Officer with a solid contract than a Captain under the POS one they would see me have.

You don't think that Atlas painted a rosy picture to Amazon?
There is a difference between what is published in industry publications, what Atlas tells Amazon and the reality of the actual state of affairs. Not to mention, Amazon has little experience in dealing with labor groups.
