I just don't understand why AJT doesn't get a third 767-200 and fly this work themselves. This is now three different contracts since Jan/13. They have to have a lower operation cost per block hour (especially with all the top heavy, cornfield people).
My bet is ATI is/was hoping to get the nod for a longterm contract on a new route AJT is getting, as you hinted at as well. I bet that is over. Why would AJT ink a deal with the possibility that ATI is gone within months. At least a -300 is getting a few more trips for LOT.
I agree with you that ATI could have come out of this merger a real winner if management had seemed to care about going after it instead of putting all the eggs in the DHL737 operation.
