I know it seems cheap and on the initial look; not too good that ABX isn't paying for all this stuff like you'll see at the major airlines. Of course, they already have the seats and system to offer you a ticket (most airlines will only 'buy' you a ticket/seat on their own system). Hotels and transport are a drop in the bucket to them. For ABX and most other ACMI types, it's big money to them to spend on people that don't even work for them. As you've seen....we have to argue with the company to spend money on their employees and operation!
