This isn't rocket science. I had stated it earlier but didn't want to push details. ABX will operate aircraft leased to AMZ from Titan (not all but most). AMZ isn't expanding, just shuffling chairs (this time between ABX and Atlas). Our guys and exco are all "hurrah" about the new deal/CBA extension (so am I) but...it only comes from Atlas mgmt wanting to get out of that segment of the biz...for whatever reason(s) you wish to say. ABX mgmt hasn't really been able to secure much on their own; they wait around till someone else drops a portion of their segment with hopes of picking it up. Thus far, ABX has been successful in that aspect. We received CK tails from Connie after they decided to exit some of that market, now we receive Atlas tails under a similar umbrella. And yes, ABX did get a tail or two from DHL that wasn't dropped by whomever.

At ABX juncture and management (ATSG) style I will take whatver we can get and be happy about it. Remember it's not like ABX is "taking" someone elses flying or job, they were givng away.
