Do you seriously think ATI is cheaper to operate than ABX? Quit drinking from the Kool Aid fountain. The ATI’s pay scales are similar to ABX’s (this year). Next year (DOS+1) they will be higher. They commercial DH all their crewmembers. ATI buys hotels rooms in CVG. They cater most of their flights and not with crappy sandwiches from the CVG cafeteria. They even get ice for every one of their flights. At the end of the day ATI is more expensive to operate than ABX. Joe H. is so obsessed with breaking down the Teamsters that he is willing to spend anything for it.
Don’t buy into the rhetoric coming from the ATSG main office.
