Default Amazon Prime Pilots

Some of you have posted on here that a particular pilot group on the CVG ramp is wearing “Amazon, Prime, Prime Air” insignia on their person or gear. Could you post a picture of such acts or send me a picture via pm.

This will provide hours of intertainment in my office I’m sure, as it should. I know exactly where to direct such pictures within Amazon as well.

I saw A guy with a Prime air hat and shirt on the ramp yesterday.

Can’t help you with that, but can I interest you in some 2006-2011 vintage pictures of ABX guys with DHL lanyards and bag tags?

Yes, ABX. I am quite familiar with my history, thanks.

You do know the entirety of airborne express was actually bought by them, then ABX was spun off due to US regulations prohibiting a foreign entity from owning a domestic transport agency... Right? ABX was supposed to then operate as the DHL airline, then the economy melted down. It's a tiny bit different

It’s not different. You guys want to ascribe all of this terrible behavior to the ATI pilots, but ABX pilots have pretty done much a lot of the same stuff over the course of history. I have no skin in all of the drama (anymore) but I will paraphrase one of my former colleagues: ABX is the architect of the CVG acmi ghetto, and now you are complaining about the neighbors who have moved in. Oh, the irony!

Hopefully it will provide you some ENTERTAINMENT as well :-)

I wasn't around then, and I don't much care about the 'who has more integrity' arguments, but saying it's the same is plain ridiculous, sorry. I don't hear ABX complaining much about anyone except ATI, who it's hard to argue for when they just made a very poor deal in the most labor favorable market most of us have ever seen.

What’s with the obsession with a few dorks that display Amazon prime on their bags? I agree it’s pretty lame, but your obsession with it might be even dorkier.
