FWIW
I still could swear I saw somewhere and at some point that the limitation was for -200s only. I can't find the link or copy of whatever it was that I read to back up my memory, but if correct, then there isn't an issue anyway - 316CM is a -300. At the same time, have the rest of the once-Cappy 727 runs been picked up by ABX? Or is someone else doing them, like Atlas? I guess what I'm getting at is, if ABX picked up all but one of the runs, was the subcontract to ATI let because ABX couldn't take it on on the short term? Airplane availability, crews whatever? From what you said above, Nite, it appears that there has been some leeway granted for this known short-term situation, so I guess that's good, but there's a hell of a lot of things going on behind the scenes, at least from our operations and admin, that really raise some concern on our part. May eventually affect us all.
