This year is setting up just like 2016. For those that were not around then he is a short is history lesson.
ABX needed to hire for growth. They didn't start in time and when pilots did finally start to come they realized this place is a dumpster fire and quit in droves.
Pilots went on strike because vacations were big denied. Everyone was forced to work on days off.
Fast forward to today pilots still quitting and going back to regionals, going to omni and Kalitta, and Any other place as soon as the phone rings. They can't keep up with attrition and there is no way they can hire for any growth because when they do finally get a class together some get smart and turn down the class date.
I'm going to make a bold prediction 4 the 4th qu 2019 everybody will be getting jr manned yet again because theu will be about 20 pilots short. Fun fun... required to work on your days off!
