If this is true, why are 90% of you guys still flying and employed? For all the Dire quotes posted, why so few furloughs?
How many have been forloughed today? 50 or less? And dont give me the letters sent out, that could change today. All I hear is about the Job losses, and the number is so small it's laughable.
Until they forlough 75%, I don't want to hear the whining. Because so far it hasn't matched your complaining. Not even close.
And alot can happen between now and June.
Good morning ladies and gentlemen. This is John Graber with the ABX Air Infoline for December 25, 2008. I hope this finds you all well and celebrating the holiday with family.
By now you will have heard that DHL is accelerating the closure of their ground network, and the parking of our DC-9 fleet. They expect to be out of the Ground product next week, and they’ll stop flying the nines soon after that.
That change forced us to announce the largest single number of job reductions since we started this last summer. I regret the timing of the announcements, and apologize for the impact we’re having on so many of you and your families
