There is a proffer that just came out for 16 capt's and 16 F.O.'s for the Osaka domicile. And no, ABX pilots wouldn't have a problem with people being hired into this domicile. You of course would be in our union and we all would have turned down the job. My guess is there will be a couple of current captains taking the job and maybe 8 to 10 F.O.'s upgrade to captain. Probably all the F.O. slots would come off the street. I am an F.O. currently working in Osaka and seriously considering the upgrade.

I think ABX management is trying to cram this domicile down our throat so it remains to be seen if we can work something out by Dec 1. Keep in mind ABX has had years to come to an agreement with our union on a foreign domicile. I would give it a 25% chance of it working out like our mangement want's. Just my 2 cents worth.
