Does anyone know the process for getting on at DHL? I checked out their web site and could not find any info for pilots. Thanks

Job info for DHL

DHL Americas doesn't employ pilots. The freight is hauled by ACMI carriers becasue DHL is a foreign based corporation and cannot own a U.S. air carrier. The 2 largest are ABX Air, and Astar Air Cargo. ABX is not currently hiring. I don't know about Astar.

The planes in DHL colors are Astar.

Nope!

ABX has at least as many if not more aircraft painted in DHL colors as Astar.

ABX operates DC-9's DC-8-63's and B767-200's. Astar operates 727's A-300's and DC-8-70's.

All of Astars roughly 40 aircraft fleet is in DHL livery with the exception of 1 DC-8 (I think). Not all of ABX's aircraft are. Some are still painted in the old Airborne Express livery, a few in the new ABX livery and the rest in DHL colors. I'm not sure what the exact breakdown is.

Interesting. I just hung out with a guy at a cookout who said he flys for DHL. He didn't mention those other companies and said he's over seas a lot. He said he's flown for DHL for 14 years.

Sometimes its just easier that way. Eliminates a lot of explaining.

Probably an Astar guy. They were "DHL Airways" prior to being spun off and renamed Astar.
