Airborne Express + Hooters Air=?

[NoahWerka]

Any of you ABX guys heard anything about a Letter of Intent supposedly signed Friday by ABX to buy Hooters Air and Pace Airlines?

Maybe they can fly pax in the old Delta 767s they are getting?

The rumor has been making the rounds. I had not heard a letter of had been signed.

I doubt there are plans to fly pax, but you never know. I suspect Pace has something else ABX wants, but don't know what it is.

yup, I've heard it too.

Hooters with a box or two...what a combination

My vine said we were buying the ETOPS program from Pace Air. I don't know nothin' about that sophisticated stuff so don't know whether that makes any sense or not. The Pace/Hooters rumor has been persistent enough that I believe somebodies been talking about something. I don't expect ABX to ever fly passengers, though.

Makes sense I guess. I wouldn't discount the pax thing though. Joe might want a piece of the action hauling pax to the ME for the army.

ABX/ Pace-Hooters

This rumor has been making the rounds in ILN since December but for the life of me I can't see how a buyout would help either ABX or PACE. Obviously the Hooters portion will no longer exist soon enough but one would expect the other PACE operations to continue (Vacation Express/ Charters, etc.). Best of luck to former CCAir buddies at Hooters Air. I would be happy to take a resume in to ABX for you if you would like, still not hiring but hopefully in the near future. Just PM me.
