On the lighter side of DHL...

[shooter]

Over 100 DHL, ABX Air and Abstar workers held a rally on Monday morning to protest DHL's decision to move 7,000 to 8,000 jobs out of Wilmington.

Hey guys, I am always looking for a simple way to get those 6-pack abs in under 5 minutes a day. How much does the Abstar cost? :laugh:


Seriously though, I read your post on that bashing board Hvy. Is it true there were no ABX pilots there? Over 10,000 signatures I sure hope some of them are ABX pilots. I would think there is reason, why did ABX not represent at the rally. At the very least I would think many of the DC-9 pilots would show. Is there some reason the ABX pilot union is not joining with the community to let DHL know the air network was not their problem? To let them know thousands of jobs really does matter?

Shooter, yes, it is true. I was there for the protest, and the round table. There was 1 guy at the protest who said he was an ABX pilot, but he was in cutoff jeans, and a t shirt, so I can't say for sure that he was. At the round table, there were 2 ABX pilots in uniform, and I know of 2 more in civvies, so that's 4. Those were the only ones I saw at the roundtable, though there might have been 1 or 2 more.
