CVG would have been a mess too if they had still been there.

Happens every year, no surprise. They may have budgeted cat II but I wouldn't count on it being accomplished. If it's run anything like Acars, we will be told that it's going to be completed in three weeks every third week (on our 3rd yr now I think).

What do you want from managers over 60 who want to sit and collect a paycheck and second rate management.

CVG would have been a mess too if they had still been there.

[AV8OR]

Still no Astar.

DHL is on a big kick to save money. Just think of all the money Astar saved them tonight!!

Now that's funny!

 

[AV8OR]

Seriously, not a single Astar plane into ILN tonight, whats up with that? Did they just not even want to try?

I was JS inbound on an ABX flight and after holding a while we had to divert into PIT. Called crew sched, and apparently AOC decided not bring any AStar aircraft inbound. Not even to try it.

DHL's mess. You run on the edge of civilization, once in a while ya get hit with a rock. Idiots.

 

[Cargoav8or]

Shouldn't you have been called and told not to come to work if your trip was canceled? I would file a grievance for the pay, kick'um when their down I say!!

Yeah, I would have if it hadn't been reserve. Sux to be me. Got to stay in PIT at my expense while not getting paid cause my JS didn't make it in on time.

Thankfully
I got a personal call from Ted thanking me for my effort..........yeah.

The word on the street is that the UPS service reps are already capitalizing on this fiasco, citing it as yet another example of DHL's total lack of committment to service. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that FedEx's salespeople were doing the same.

This is just another example of why DHL will never be a true contender in the overnight express business. They're so focused on lowering costs that they've completely overlooked the concept of "Total Quality Management" that makes FedEx and UPS such formidible competitors.

They'd better be careful how they phrase that. Rumor last night was that there were 18 DC-8's and 747's that didn't make it into SDF on time.

Plus I know of at least one Airbus. They were parked right beside us on a ground stop.

FDX doesn't get off the hook either. One of their 727's (coming to rescue a parked airbus?) made two missed approaches at SDF before heading back to wherever it is that they come from
