Because they were attached to Cargo Holdings, Inc. Hete bought CHI to get CAM the aircraft leasing company, the airlines just happened to come along with it. If the ATI pilots hadn't have chickened out at the last minute and voted for the merger contract, things would look very different at ATSG today. Either way Hete's interest was CAM, not ATI or CCI.
