Don’t talk without knowing the details. The ABX 1224 EXCO forewarned the ATSG upper management about the impending manning problems coming in the fourth quarter of 2016. The ATSG management replied by applying even more contractual violations and ignoring the manning problems forecasted. This after the ABX 1224 EXCO bailing out ATSG and ABX during the fourth quarter of 2015 due to the same manning reasons. The General Membership told the EXCO we are not doing it again and then be treated like dog poop. Plus late in the summer of 2016 the ABX EXCO presented a compromise proposal to the ATSG upper management to guarantee the even distribution of the ATSG’s airplanes between ABX & ATI. ATSG’s reply was that there are no guarantees in life. The ABX EXCO was protecting you guys at ATI. What did we get in return? Multiple stabs in the back.
Just so you know, the Amazon contract is between ATSG and Amazon. Amazon could care less how the flying is distributed internally in ATSG. The only reason you guys are getting all of those Amazon painted ATSG airplanes is due to the ABX’s Scope Clause and the lack of a Scope Clause at ATI. So don’t get any illusions that you guys are the chosen ones.
Don’t forget we have known JH longer than you guys. We are very experienced in his ways.
