Anybody at ABX Know about this?

All of the B767 and DC8 proffers filter down to the DC9 in one way or another and they've had a series of proffers over the past few months without replacing any of the DC9 F/Os. We're about 20 to 25 short on the DC9 F/O list, compared to where we've been over the last few years, so they certainly need to have some DC9 F/O classes before having any more 767 or DC8 classes.

Let us know when you hear more about the recalls or new classes.

The Northern Kentucky airport operation currently employs 2,000, said Michael Schmitt, director of hub development for DHL. Combining the operations will add only seven jet transports to the 99 currently flying out of Wilmington each night. DHL now has 50 flights from Northern Kentucky each night.

Does this mean that after cvg ops moves to iln there will only be seven more flights?

Unless ASTAR is running their airplanes around practically empty (which I doubt) they're going to need a lot more than seven more airplanes than what ABX has in ILN. Perhaps the ILN count only initially increases by eight while the other aircraft move to the regional hubs, shuttle flights, etc. that they've been talking about?

ILN has been running at near December weights with extra sections to some cities due to weights.

Come on, everybody, read the piece. This is all conjecture from politicians who are trying to justify to their constituents how they can give up the tax breaks. Amazing how easily a reporter from a paper can find out the future of our company and our managment keeps insisting they have no clue........

I really think there is going to be plenty to go around for everyone and then some. I had a conversation with a Fedex employee the other day and when he found out I work for DHL (sort of) he said that all they keep hearing was how DHL was going to grow. No mention of UPS, just DHL. It's gonna happen, give it time.

The new charter is for Emery, it is a good deal.
