FDX/DHL boat race
Got this from a friend... An American company ( FedEx ) and a European company (DHL) decided to have a canoe race on the Missouri River. Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race. On the big day, the American company won by a mile. The Europeans, very... -
JJ's quarterly ABX Conference Call interesting tidbits
Bitter et al... I was wondering how you think a potential reduction in force would be handled? Right now the most junior pilots at ABX Air are domiciled in Japan. If ABX Air did furlough, their ANA charter would collapse, wouldn't it? IMHO, this is why we are so short staffed... so that when the... -

Atlas picks up two DHL contracts
They couldn't possibly have done that FAJ, because Airborne had already built a cargo facility in Mather...and that would have ruined their perfect record of not listening to Airbornes advice -

Abx Management threats
Sending in your application now would be OK if you want to relocate to Japan. Any future domestic hiring will depend on what DHL plans on doing. IMHO They should have made a decision by now and will most likely announce it at their annual meeting in March. Of course, they may leak it earlier... -
Abx Management threats
If you haven't listened to Saturdays hotline, I recommend it. It addresses some of the items, including aircraft parking. -
Abx Management threats
I did not attend either, but I was told by someone who did that they mentioned each city pairing we were losing in the 9. I can't remember them all, but the 3 in ORD are gone when the 767 returns. PWM, LFT and COS were also mentioned. At the meeting GS said that she has a meeting with DHL on... -
ABXA hidden GEM!!!
It's a nice thought, but would you mind expanding on it? -
767 on DHL's CVG ramp
I was recently told that there is an all white cargo door 767 parked on the DHL ramp in CVG. Does anyone have any information on it? Do you know what the N number is? -

How Many Abx DC9 will go away?
Our person in the company who works with DHL in aircraft utilization and planning(?) says that they may park up to 7 more DC-9's this year...but with the USA review and DHL's upcoming decision on their future plans, it is just speculation. -
DHL announces layoffs
DHL Express to cut 600 jobs in the US Transport Intelligence, Wednesday February 13, 2008 DHL Express USA yesterday (February 12) announced a plan to reduce its US workforce by approximately 600 positions. The company said the decision was made "as part of a broader strategy to lower general... -
ABX Hiring!?!
There is a $3,000 a month override promised by management, so if you sell your house in the states(as one new hire plans to do) you can squeeze by for a year. Second year pay is 83k so you only starve for one year. -
ABX Hiring!?!
They do not have work visas yet...apparently the Japanese are looking the other way when our crews arrive on tourist visas. All of our crews are currently commuting. -
ABX Hiring!?!
If they offer you the DC-9, you would be financially better off than trying to live in Japan on first year pay. You also wouldn't have to be worried about being stranded there if you couldn't hold a bid position in the US after 2 years. ABX won't let you "downbid" back to the DC-9, so you would... -

Is ABX taking more ASTAR routes???
The next question is, where will ABX find the crews to support this expansion? All of its upcoming 767 training is for KIX or Miami charters. -
ABX Hiring!?!
By the way, have you all listened to the hotline this weekend? Yes, it sounds like the former "By The Book" plan...encourage your Capt to fly long range cruise and the cleared flight plan(no direct to headings)...except on Saturday mornings, of course :-) -
ABX Hiring!?!
I agree that we must finally put an end to our current open flying program. It is the single most destructive policy to our pilot unity. The pilots must find some way of limiting or stopping the amount that any individual can fly in a bid period, or annually. We need to tell our E Board and... -
ASTAR to Furlough
I overheard our ABX planner(G.S.) talking with a night duty officer. She said that they may park 8 DC-9's next year. not 20. and this was before the news that Kitty Hawk had to pull out. -
