"Regardless of who owns whom, DHL has for all intents and purposes failed to gain control of the lift into and out of KILN, which means that it now ultimately fails to control its own operation in the US.
It would have make sense, from the DHL perspective, to have made their stake in Astar and have Astar buy ABX on the day they purchased Airborne Express. A bit late for that now though.
Interesting times, because all the logical moves have failed to occur and what happens next is going to be the second best course of action. As I've said before, the bottom line is efficient lift, and he who has it will probably end up calling the tune."
The original plan was for ASTAR to purchase ABX immediately after the merger. Brown and Purple threwn in a monkey wrench with their foreign owner lawsuit.

"whoa, I did not know they would not allow you to strike. sorry to hear that."
Unfortunately, courtesy of the RLA, we are all precluded from striking. Never mind Astar, you think the ABX pilot group would be putting up with the latest crap if we could simply down tools and walk?
the last strike RLA was allowed when? Comair? And if memory serves they were working on an agreement about as long Astar has. If you guys are trying to work out the latest crap you are speaking of that many years down the road, my guess would be you would be asking to put the tools down and walk. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.
It's not limited to 10%, but if outside revenues exceed that level, ABX has to start paying some of their own overhead expenses. Under 10% DHL picks up the tab.
I'm with ABX, not Astar , and I'm referencing the never ending contractual violations with regard to scheduling and especially the Osaka Domicile. To be able to stage wildcat strikes of unpredictable yet limited duration would rapidly put an end to the company's nonsense. Unfortunately the RLA stops that from happening.
Anything not related to DHL. MIA, KIX, 141 school, contract maintenance...
