2040 to like 2046 are Atlas recovery flight numbers. One of the POSs must have broke hard again. On Friday, one broke in MSP and ABX sent a plane (ABX2007) to cover MSP-TOL-CVG (ABX2040). The Atlas plane didn't leave until Saturday afternoon as a PAC callsign; really strange there, might have been a simple flight tracking error though.
If the flights go back to the three digit flight numbers, then it is permanent. CVG-ORD replaced CVG-PHX-SAN to help Atlas with recovery flights but it still doesn't seem to be helping (over the last two weeks alone ABX has recovered at least one the five GTI flights almost every night). I'd assume SFO is next to go back to ABX metal with a trade for BOS or EWR.
