    ABX now accepting applications

    ABX has, in round figures, about 230 active pilots. I'm one of them (hold the applause). There are 470 pilots on the seniority list. Should you be offered a place on the bottom, a good question to ask is as to where the missing bodies are buried. Some are long term disabled, some are biding...

    Support for other pilots and Simple Math

    Windows 7 starter and a touch-pad. Disregard.

    Merry Christmas to all those without seniority enough to be home!

    Sentiments of the previous two posts. To echo MD11 driver: Ya'll be safe out there! Have a good Christmas.

    ATI and ABX Merging

    You're correct nitefr8dog. I'm wrong. With head held low in mortified embarrassment I retract my 'no gals' statement.

    ATI and ABX Merging

    From FastHap's link..... *April 21, 2009.International Brotherhood of Teamsters President James P. Hoffa April 15 imposed an emergency takeover of Teamsters Local 747, citing the Houston-based local's “failure to perform its duties” as bargaining agent for some 4,000 pilots at a dozen small...

    Atlas going Teamsters

    1224 still gave much of the farm away. It is a fact, not hypothetical conjecture, that DHL when faced with a system meltdown coughed up the severance package in something of a hurry. Had it been simple to transfer assets or logistics and split the savings between ATSG and DHL then that, when...

    Atlas going Teamsters

    Second item first. You're correct about the capitulation of 1224. With the bodies on the street vastly outnumbering those remaining on property the dynamics of a ransomed severance package came into play. The vote to ratify primarily became a contest between severance for those no longer working...

    ABX 1224 how low will you go?

    Just vote NO. The online voting instructions are loud and clear, and I've already given a loud and clear NO vote to whatever it is that 1224 believes they've attained in my name - not that I recall Muckle ever asking me what I wanted. Reading my mind are you Joe? Tw_t. Nothing more, nothing...

    If the tables were turned UPS/ASTAR(DHL Airways INC)

    Hey Poodle Boy: it takes one to know one. How's life in the Dilbert cubical?
  11. HeavyjetDC8

    And so it begins

    It's Darwinian. UPS is the apparent winner and ABX + Astar isn't. I hope the political maneuverings yield a favorable result - if not we're screwed. In the future others will take their turn at being in the barrel. P22: Frank from 1938? Terry Thomas was closer to the mark.

    If the tables were turned UPS/ASTAR(DHL Airways INC)

    And you shooter, if you were a dog, would be a little lap dog. The sort of little dog that humps itself against peoples feet; the little dog pissing in the corner, the little dog with a big yelp that yelps at its own shadow, yelps at anything that moves, yelps at its own yelps. Yelps in fact at...

    If the tables were turned UPS/ASTAR(DHL Airways INC)

    Shooter, you're a dispatcher living in Dilbert cubical land but I'm a captain: you can't do anything; your bellicose rumblings are futile. You should however now push your chair away from the keyboard and take your medications prior to resuming posting operations on this website (dude);) .

    If the tables were turned UPS/ASTAR(DHL Airways INC)

    I'm surprised, four pages. I thought this argument of "whose freight is it" had been mud wrestled to death into oblivion by ABX/Astar types long ago on previous threads. I think what got it going was Shooter raising his head from the dispatcher cubicles and early on going personal in his...

    DHL's MAD WORLD

    Rip-snorting, stirring stuff; but wasn't this Jackson person fighting for the Hillbilly South - the same South who got their rear-ends well and truly whipped in the mid 19th Century?

    DHL's MAD WORLD

    Yep. The times they are a'changin'. And I accept it that soon, I'll be drenched to the bone..........etc, etc.

    If the tables were turned UPS/ASTAR(DHL Airways INC)

    ABX / ATSG (or whatever it is that we're calling ourselves today) actually was on the receiving end of an Astar/alpa lawsuit because of scope.

    Atsg Half Way To Stoping Public Trading

    Fair point. In fact, you're probably correct.

    Atsg Half Way To Stoping Public Trading

    You're the one with over a thousand posts. Dude. As for getting over it, I'm certain I'll be fine - but reading the company's latest proposal is a little annoying. Have you seen a copy, dude?

    Atsg Half Way To Stoping Public Trading

    ATSG stockholders: Don't worry; don't panic. Even as I type and your net worth plunges even further south Joe Hete and his entourage of ex-ATA intelligentsia are on the job with a cunning master plan to assuage investor fears and deliver ATSG into the promised land of viable ACMI operations...

    DHL on CNBC

    So many stupid decisions have been made counter to a successful DHL/ILN business model that a red flag of this being but one move in a wider strategy to avoid anti-trust issues certainly does get raised. But the offer of Astar's buyout of ABX with DHL backing was both real and seemingly...
