Anyone hear any rumors on this one????

Yes, about every six months someone spreads that rumor - which has always turned out to be without merit.

Some rumors on this board

Only about 2 pages of worthwhile reading then it turns into an Atlas/Polar shouting match.

Didn't United's VP of Cargo come from Atlas???
Just a thought.

he was a Gecas guy who stayed with Polar and then became COO at AAWWH before going to united as vp of cargo and now vp of cargo and vp of airport ops.

scott dolan is his name. he has talked repeatedly about re starting UAL cargo ops. a while back they tried to get the united MEC to agree to let Atlas fly ACMI contract for UAL while they still had over 2,000 out.... it was funny and sad.

the rumor has always been a merger between Polar and UAL, and has benn going on for over 6 years now.Like hdsl said, about 6-9 months it comes again.
