Not even possible with the new contract unless you elect to for your own scheduling reasons. But nice try.

The 767 side of the house has been slow going. 2 months in training, then 3 months off. (i'm not complaining, but it'd be nice to break guarantee at some point) Back to the sim for another check ride, then more time off. Even now, almost 6 months in, half of our 767 FOs have yet to see the airplane. Lots of limiting factors - only a couple of airplanes, and the focus has been getting flight hours to our new check airmen, then captains, then some of the FOs with previous 767/DoD time. More guys are getting OE now, but it'll take more DHL routes to get things really spooled up.

Right now CVG and SAN overnights, with a stop in PHX. Future overnights to add MSP with a stop in TOL. That's all I can remember for now.

Replacing an ASTAR DC-8 (TOL-MSP)

The official story was that the Atlas flying is expansion lift for DHL due to contracting the flying that DB Schenker was providing to ATI/Capital ex Toledo. If my memory serves.....

Good to know that DHL is experiencing tremendous growth...

DHL Expands Its CVG Hub Again


March 14, 2012 — DHL held a groundbreaking ceremony this morning to expand its package sorting facility at CVG. When completed in about 14 months, the expansion is expected to create 285 jobs, including 120 full-time positions.

The $47 million expansion “will provide DHL with the capacity to keep up with the tremendous growth in shipment volumes,” said Travis Cobb, vice president of DHL Americas hubs.

Such growth “is a direct result of customer loyalty and quality service, of which the Cincinnati hub and all our employees are such a tremendous part,” Cobb added.

CVG CEO Candace McGraw represented KCAB at the groundbreaking, which included top DHL officials from around the world. Signifying CVG’s importance to the region, the event was also attended by both Ky. Gov. Steve Beshear and Lt. Gov. Jerry Abramson, Kenton County Judge/Executive Steve Arlinghaus, Boone County Judge/Executive Gary Moore and Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory, among others.

The CVG hub employs nearly 2,000 and is DHL’s main U.S. facility, and one of three “superhubs” across the globe. About 92 percent of the company’s volume in the U.S. flows through CVG.
