ABX pilots 1224 no show

[nitefr8dog]

Parked a bunch this am. How many do we have to park before you guys run out of crews for crying out loud?

Run OUT or pay JRM? Big differance, if ABX did not pay JRM we would be out long before you. Astar crews alot more pilots per a/c than ABX!

Methinks you miss the point I was trying to make.

It's a shame to see Astar and ABX going at each other but I can't help feel this is a contributory factor to the demise of DHL in the USA. As some one who flew feeders prior to the merger, the difference is night and day. DHL was a wonderful operation to fly for in the feeder capacity, UPS not as good and ABX were the worst.

Post merger despite DHL buying out ABX it was the ABX corporate culture that prevailed and not the better one. Instead of everybody being DHL employees under one standard, corporate values and mission, what I observed was Astar and ABX guarding their personal fiefdoms and a bunch of independent contractors in the field who don't give a s**t-I'm not surprised it went downhill and that's a shame.

I'm very skeptical that this new plan is going to result in the long term health of DHL. Customers in the smaller markets will move their work to UPS and Fedex which will result in DHL having a small presence in the US. It's a shame because there will be the inevitable job losses in an industry that is not doing to well, there is more than enough business to support three viable package delivery companies-it looks like we'll end up with two.

The ABX corporate culture had an 18% market share. DHL had less than 5. The new DHL has less than 5%. Who was better? You do the math. The German arrogance trumps ABX arrogance. Not by much, but DHL made the big decisions that led to their downfall and will end with their disappearing from the US market.
