ABX Pool

Any ABX guys have an idea if recalls might come soon. I've been in the pool for some time now and just wondering if there might be some hope. Thanks in advance for any info.

The two DC8 S/O slots on the last bid went insufficient so they may be recalling two to fill those slots. Haven't heard any official, though.

Thanks for the info., that's some spec of hope which is good. Do you happen to know how many are on furlough right now?

30

Don't hold your breath on hiring. None planned for a very long time.

It's supposed to be 30 but the latest seniority list shows less than that--I'm not sure why. Perhaps some of the 30 have gotten other jobs which required them to resign their seniority? I don't know. It's certainly not any more than 30.

I heard today that ABX is recalling two furloughed crewmembers to fill the two DC8 SO ILN vacancies. Class starts September 7th.

Also heard that we are going to do a USPS charter from Dayton to some city in the Fresno/Sacramento area using the DC8. No other details, though.
