ABX Hiring!?!

[abxaviator]

This site will be redirected shortly in anticipation of resumption of pilot hiring at ABX Air. Please check daily.

Just found this on the AbxAir.com website. No need to waste time checking daily, just wait until the 28th or Oct. 1st, should be 16 new openings.

That's a bit optomistic, isn't it? I'd say 14.

It's probably still a bit early for that. Lots of things have to happen before the first new hire walks in the door.

I thought they announced this to the crews late last week. Normally by the time I hear about something it's old news, and I heard a few weeks ago.

 

[abxaviator]

Well excuse me, I was in Japan; no announcements over there and hadn't seen it on here either.

So what were competative times back when the last class went through?

 

[ABXbooger]

I would asume comp mins would be 5000+ TT with international heavy operating experience in Asia a plus.

Are they hiring straight into the Japan domicile?

 

[abxaviator]

Yes, any Osaka domicile positions which are unbid and/or not accepted by the remaining furloughees, will be filled by hiring. Personally, I predict 16 new hire 767 FO's.

My apologies, waisted your time, found what I was looking for. Thanks for the answer.

Just a few quick questions.

1) Any idea what a new hire's schedule in Japan might look like? (possibility of commuting to the states)

2) What are the odds the Japan domicile will iron itself out and go away by the time a new hire finished training?

3) Supposing the domicile problem did iron out, what are the odds of a new hire going to the DC-9?

 

[LarryinTN]

That's the problem. There are no ideas or odds, just wild guesses.

Just as predicted, 16 openings.

How bout 8.5 yrs in the back seat of a 72, is that competitive?

 

[ABXbooger]

Come over to the dark side, young cargoav8or...

 

[av8rnate]

I recently read from another forum that the company announced 25 new hires for January. Was that an official announcement, or just a rumor being spread?

While you would no doubt be welcomed here on the dark side young frtdog, you might want to sit tight and keep your seniority. I don't think the buyout/merger thing is over yet.
