DHL to shut down US Domestic Ops Jan 30

[fob727]

Booger, I'm not trying to start an argument or anything, but knowing the animosity between the DHL idiots and hete; why do you thing they would include ABXA in these 25 a/c?

I'll give this a shot.

How about 2 crews (after a humongous pay cut), fuel efficient, CATIII, and cheaper on a A,B,C check (so I have been told) than any DC8, 727, or A300.

As for hating Hete, that is probably true, his people skills are lacking, they do not teach you that in Accounting class. I would be surprised if Hete last much longer, I am surprised he is still here to be honest. His company stock has taken a hit (deserved or not) and he is at the wheel so the buck stops with him.

Wait a tic, BH. I seem to recall it being said that those concessions were for life "post DHL". Is that changing now?

Yes, they own 49%. But with things the way they are, I don't think that means anything.

wouldnt it be in DHLs interest that if their was going to be flying it would be done by ASTAR.

Of course not. It would be UPS, silly. Where have you been the last 6 months?

Ahhhh crud. You beat me to it, Shooter.

LOL! I was over in non-av when that popped up. Too easy, eh?

What makes you think DHL is going to start doing things that make sense now. They have not made a correct decision since they came up here from CVG. I, for one do not expect that to change. It would be nice, it might keep me in a job, but I don't see them making a smart decision
