That new place? Djibouti...yes, Djibouti, and had a great time, thank you very much. Don't know where it is? Well, that's part of the adventure, isn't it?
Oh, and another one added a month or so before that...Romania (Bucharest, and Constanta). And I only count the ones where I have a hotel stay!!

And no we did not leave the compound...beautiful swimming pool, with nice cold, adult beverages, and great food at the hotel's two restaurants.

IMHO, they can all have that flying...keep me flying to those garden spots of the world (see above discussion about JIB!!).

Notice I said "better chance"...that means just that...because sCrew Scheduling owns your butt for 17 days and will use you wherever they need you. But I've heard that for the most part it works for those CVG 767 guys.

Any animosity between Atlas and ABX crews since the Atlas jets are former ABX?

I've only done three or four runs out of CVG on the -400 but have seen nothing that would indicate it. There are several outfits doing DHL work and we are just one more. I would imagine the ABX folks are miffed at how DHL treated them but it's probably directed at DHL rather than the other haulers.

ABX guys have been fine. I went through the same thing at Comair. Most people realize you should blame the people who control the flying (DHL), as the pilots have nothing to do with it. It'll happen to us, too, at some point.
