Just trying to shake it up and see what people have to say about all of this Amazon movement (and maybe trying to get a little advice for myself).
The reason I say PIC with no turbine is because that's where I stand. I could go to a regional or even a corporate outfit and upgrade a lot quicker than ABX. But, at ABX if this Amazon stuff takes off, I would stay there as long as I could. Upgrades wouldn't matter to me at that point (granted this Amazon stuff takes off and goes well beyond the 5 yr contract).
I was a young new hire at ABX in 1995. After a couple of decades of slow decline, I jumped ship to a legacy carrier. Should've done it 15 years ago, hindsight is always 20/20.
Hey Kougarok, did you get a captain bid yet? Best of luck, my friend.
