AND their 767-200s have passed through ILN over the past two weeks for some type of maintenance (could have been a B-Check). Finally, ABX covered for the Cappy 757 in BFI with a 767-300 flown as a tag on to 1920 (LAX-SFO) for a few Fridays.
ABX is probably at the breaking point with all the hot spares which is made worse by another aircraft being sent to Europe. They covered both ORD and TOL/MSP for Atlas on Friday (1/11) alone. No wonder the December furlough was called off at ABX.
Some people question why I keep tabs on this stuff but it does come in handy
Re:-300
I'm almost positive you're correct regarding the use of -300s on DHL domestic. I've heard that thrown around in Little Rock a few times.
Covered ORD, TOL/MSP, and YHM on Friday....the SL restricts DHL domestic in 767 aircraft to ABX..... does not differentiate 200, 300, 400 etc and last week the company in a separate letter acknowledged as much. And yes we are out of airplanes....Friday alone had the 3 extra Cappy flights and the 3 Atlas recoveries...
