Can you state your source and why this is good for Abx?

His source is a company memo out today. And I'd ssume, it's good for ABX, because if we don't fly those 2 A/C then one would assume ABX will pick up the lift.

I doubt it. based on the loads, where they fly will just turn into through stations. DHL has done quite a butcher job on the air parcel customer base.

Hmmm... Well, if we can't fly it, and you guys can't fly it, I'd say it's about time for us both to be looking for that "3rd party ACMI" carrier they love to talk about to show up. Wonderful.

no hvy, the loads have been light. VERY light. I don't know the details behind your parked aircraft, but I do not think they need to be picked up by anyone. I think that 2 aircraft will now fly a through pairing. Maybe DTW will turn into a through station, I dont know. I just dont think this is good news for ABX and I know its not good news for Astar.

Trust me I know as I have been pushing 8's and 9's to never fly again. A friend of mine told me he could not believe how fast they chopped the 9's in Grissom. He flew through and about 2 weeks later EVERY 9 was gone. sad.

which cities are you losing?

It's just yet another "fear grenade" being tossed by the "E-Team" to get the pilots to settle.

Just another lame attempt, using the same old lame playbook.

Story from Astar crews on the jumseat is that Astar is aquiring additional aircraft. Are they parking two old ones to replace them with not so old ones? where did Kittyhawk's 72s go?
