The ATSG thing possibly getting split or falling through with Amazon or something new althogether. Kalitta and National is about as off radar as HAL at the moment.
Light Attrition aside, hiring 24/month per class through year's end could be in reference to 787 deliveries, but we all know where that stands...Good luck to you at United.
Kalitta is exiting medium widebody flying as you read this to concentrate on the 747 and 777. The divestiture of 767 flying will wind up over the next 6-8 months. Connie has many times expressed no interest in getting into bed with Amazon under the terms that they like to offer to their air lift partners. Things are always subject to change but I think K4 is the farthest outlier in this conversation by far.
