Hopefully Hooterville doesn't screw the pooch on this.

Might be a good time for ATI to get onboard with Teamsters. I know Atlas will have my back.
I bet that hypocrite Bezos LOVES unions, right?

There is a chance kiln won't be the Amazon hub? Where else would they go? Cvg? Lck? Some other place?

If they want major sort area, it's ILN hands down

Nothing is certain in the ACMI world except being one contract away from unemployment. Throw in the ABX/ATI whipsaw, Kalitta possibly joining the fray and now Atlas using Florida West and you can see an airline Management fantasy to keep crews demoralized, whipsawed, beaten down and forced to stand in line with their hand stretched out begging for a handout until there is an economic downturn, a merger or a clear winner take all.

Don't get me wrong Jason, I like the idea that KILN is in line for an economic turnaround. Lord knows those people have had it rough since Ronald McDonald House left for KCVG

But remember that the Midwest is littered with shuttered freight hubs. KDAY, KGYY and KLCK to name a few.

It's my understanding that no deal has been inked with the Clinton Co. Airport Authority as of yet.

Amazon is seeking bids with a very agressive timeline to build a new facility south east of Chicago.

HUF, FWA have large abandoned freight hubs, huge runways, etc. IND Postal hub is still abandoned. But I had heard the US Govt still has some long term lease on it in IND.

What about Toledo? Didn't BAX Global have a big ops there. With ATI doing the work?
