Is there anything in the ABX scope clause to prevent the following:
AAWW (Atlas Air World Wide) buys ABX and runs it as a separate company but over time, transfers planes to the Polar and/or Atlas cert. without the crews.
Two things accomplished, giving DHL more control, if the planes were transfered to Polar (49% owned by DHL). I don't think this would happen, most likely be transfered to Atlas cert. since they have the 767 on it, still giving DHL more control.
They would get rid of the ABX contract.
To be clear, I have heard nothing about this, just a question?
