DHL rumors??

[LarryinTN]

What's up with ASTAR not flying HAZMAT? We heard that your management doesn't even want to start a program. We fly HAZMAT to/from all of our destinations. Apparently, it's very high-yield shipments with all of the extra fees.

It's not us. We've been fully trained for a few years. Otherwise, I've been wasting a lot of time in recurrent and carrying around ops manual chapters I don't need.

I'll just tell the Capt to screw the NOTOC and never-mind the evac procedures since we don't carry Hazmat.

But seriously, once again, we carry hazmat. Now DHL, on the other hand, at least advertizes in their drop off locals, no hazmat. AStar is current and qualified. Most of the rumors from ABX seem pretty accurate, but not this one.

That's strange... So why are we flying our SJU HAZMAT down to MIA and putting it on a charter to SJU?

Because we are run by a bunch of hazbeens and scabs who could'nt distinguish their butts from a hole in the ground. Usually they have no rhyme or reason for why they do anything. For instance, for months they have been saying, "oh yeah were doing one of the west coast shuttle runs". First rite of refusal, baby. Who is doing them? Answer, not us. Surprised, I think not.

Hazmat? They always tell me thats catering. Now what comes out, thats Hazmat!! NOTOC REQUIRED!!!
