What happened at Cappy?

[Midnight Flyer]

I heard that they didn't get some BAX Global contracts renewed and the guys that were in class were laid off. How bad is it going to be?

Yeah, the new class has been furloughed. Very unfortunate for those pilots. Lots of ex ATA pilots in that class. I believe they were all FO's, no FE's. Nobody knows when or if they will be called back. Like someone else said, it is true that there is a reduction on Monday nights flying, mainly because the loads are very light on Mondays to begin with.
I heard that Cappy and Bax had a discrepancy in renewing the contract for whatever reasons, and that whatever problem it was, should be worked out and the contract should be renewed tomorrow (1-30). This industry is down, but there is still freight that has to be flown. Hopefully there is enough business to go around so all of us can get a paycheck until times get better!

except that bax is still profitable. probably not this year because of the economy. Its easy to expect changes when the company your hauling freight for becomes unprofitable.

If Bax folds than we are out of jobs bottom line. doesnt matter who is leading us.

DHL is still profitable they make more money than anyone in the world in shipping! You just got a taste of your new management, good luck!

I heard it was a new outfit called Acme, seriously. They are hiring, they ask you to buy "shares" in the new venture that will be reimbursed at 200% when they go public. Captains make $35k, fo's are PFT and you have to pay them $100/ hour to "build time". They supply you with suitcases that say "ACME" on the side. They are skirting the duty times by making you change your name every 12 hours, that way no pilot ever works more than 12 hours. No pay during training, no per diem, share hotel rooms. Straight from mgmt, this is the only way they can make money.

yes management is causing our recession. JH is single handedly causing bax's loads to be down. Im even sure the 75,000 layoffs and the auto industry is linked to JH and our managment.

Ok it is not due to your fantastic management, you will most likely be ordering a whole fleet of new B747-400s in a week or so. Go buy a couple new cars maybe a bigger house you can't lose. These guys are real airline guru's

except for the billion a year they were losing here. According to you that was ABX's fault.

Not at all what I said. We will try again, last week I repeat last week I said with your new management Cappy would soon feel the pain also. You dragged DHL into this. So on that note any news at Cappy?

""Marty, find out where the police are going to be taking him. Send over a bottle of bubbly with a bucket of ice and a card. Have it say, "Tough break, get drunk on me. Use the bucket to ice down your marbles, Yours, Z.""

Some folks simply need someone, anyone, to blame. They have no idea or concept of the history involved or the bigger picture. JH is a very unloveable character with, in many folks eyes, questionable morals and ethics. To them, he is as good as any candidate for the cross. No matter what you may say or proof you may present he will be the devil incarnate to them.

Another lesson from Eric, thank you.

You're quite welcome.

If I though perhaps you might really be paying attention and learning I might be pleased. As it is...

Personally, I'm very tired of the "It's all JH's fault" rant. No matter what JH might have done, did do, or didn't do we would all be pretty much in the same position. DPWN/DHL still would've trashed the business, and the economy still would be in the tank.
