With Amazon now wanting to grow he plays everyone against each other ..... or tries to anyway.
In the latest 20 AA aircraft acquisition it states that OMNI will get aircraft...hmmmm I wonder if now ATI can see whats happening to them as well?
Bottom line.....ABX looks like Eastern and we all know how that worked out....
Doesn't really "state that" says MAY choose to refurbish one or two and lease them to Omni....just saying.
At this point our best option would be, to give back scope, great disability ins., scheduling rules, higher percentage match, no strike clause....take 10 bucks an hour pay under the other competitors and take it all and just race our way to the bottom. DHL and AMZ would line up to pull business from the rest.
