ABX is CVG based.....all flights have to start and end in domicile. If the flight starts or stops other than CVG we get a ticket into position. How else would you do it? I have never heard of an airline that required you to get yourself to somewhere other than your domicile. And I certainly do not know any pilots who would agree to that. A large majority of the crews just ride the DHL or Amazon system to CVG. If the plane doesn't make it or you get bumped you are trip protected.
