Do you want to work for someone who intentionally inflicts policy to hurt employees?

As for getting "the call" be persistent, usual networking, I'm not sure if we attend any job fairs yet. We used to do open interviews. Good Luck.

Would this be competitive? Sorry if these question's have been asked before. Thanks!

Abx has lowered there hiring requirements and then they have washed guys out during OE. Others have quit just after OE. Imagine a bust on your resume. If you're looking long term at a real airline consider the consequences of taking a job at ABX!

Awhile back I had a friend get hired at ABX he told me how great it would be. Now he is gone and I'm still stuck waiting to get out. We just lost more flying. Pilots getting pushed back on reserve. 12 hour airport ready reserve too.
Still 20 + years to upgrade and a shrinking airline. If your buddy tells you this is a great place, you might want to question if he is a true friend!
Abx ATSG
Facts
No growth
No contract
No upgrades for anyone with less than 20 years
Reserve lInes for 2 years
No KCM
Management who delays a contract
Amazon said no more planes till a contract
Dhl taking planes away
And why apply here?

To the OP go be a DEC at one of the AA Wholly Owned regionals until you get a better job.
Also, steer clear of Atlas until they get a decent contract.

We will get a contract in another few years. Of course, so will everyone else.
The only good reason to interview would be to hone your interview skills for your target job.
