RE Amazon maybe tranferring the operation of 1049A and 1439A to ATI.

1049A has been at ILN for 5 days, having flown in last Friday night under a 9xxx flight number. I thought that movement might have something to do with the fact that GTI will shortly begin to fly one or more Amazon routes out of ILN. Or (less likely) for maintenance. I also realized that its presence at ILN could fit the rumor about Amazon taking the operation of some of its dry-leased aircraft away from Atlas, but that seemed too convenient. Maybe not. Maybe it's at ILN for ATI conformity. Still, that really seems beyond-the-beyond. As nothing has been announced, it's still a rumor, although there sure is a lot of smoke. And, for what it's worth, the rumor about Amazon pulling some flying from Atlas also fits the rumor of "something big and hush-hush" happening soon at Kalitta. (I wouldn't dare lay odds on that, of course, particularly after Connie's legendary initial response to Amazon's inquiries, but it does at least generally fit...) And has anyone noticed the deafening silence from the ABX folks who post on here? Don't know what that's about, but it does seem weird, like going out for the paper one morning and finding your whole neighborhood deserted... |
ATSG sends so much as a kite to ABX and people around here are going to lose their minds.

You all realize ATSG is one of the very few maintenance centers in the world that can do the aft bulkhead replacement right? My money is on 1049A coming due for it and instead of sending the plane half way around the world to get it done they just went with ATSG. Might as well keep it all in the family anyway. As for why they'd do it now and not when they carved the plane into a freighter who knows. The fact that half the planes came to us without ADS-B or even GPS and all manner of non-standard cockpits makes me think they just wanted to get them out the door ASAP. Stuff like the bulkhead could wait until its next C-check.

Well, here we go. Remarkable. According to CargoFacts, the transfer of CMI operation of at least two Amazon-dry-leased 767-300Fs from Atlas to "another provider" has been confirmed by Atlas. It's understood from other information that the provider is ATI.
https://cargofacts.com/allposts/logi...ther-operator/ FWIW, this doesn't necessarily mean that Amazon is per se dissatisfied with Atlas's current performance. Another possibility is that Amazon wanted to significantly-increase the flying tempo of the Atlas-operated fleet, as it has with ABX Air and ATI, and Atlas wasn't able fully to staff the increase in tempo for all 20-ish aircraft because of its difficulty hiring, training and retaining 767 crews.
