In the past, I have applauded the pilots of ABX and their leadership of 1224 for holding the line when it came to DHL flying on this and other boards. But this is from John Grabers (ABXAir Mgt.) "Info Line" dated March 5'th '09 to the employees of ABXAir:
"We talked about the economy’s impact on the worldwide ACMI marketplace, and how we have to lower our costs to be more competitive. I told everyone that we are going to reduce pay in many of our airline positions to better align the compensation in those jobs with the environment we find ourselves in today.
We are going to do that for two reasons – to attract more ACMI business, and to show DHL that we can lower our costs and give them a cost structure that allows them to stay in Wilmington, using ABX Air to fly for them, for a long time to come."
I understand that the pilots of ABX are under the gun as their co. restructures it's self to operate in the ACMI world. But 1224 has repeatedly said that DHL flying was not to be included in any pay rate discussion. Has that attitude changed?
I know this is a sensitive subject and I'm not trying to flame here ("ie" do a Trixy). I believe this is a legitimate question since this was put out in the open by ABXAir Mgt. to all ABXAir employees, and not an unfounded accusation.
