It would also be nice if ABX would move into the 21st century regarding scheduling and IT, to bid for your schedule one has to fill out a sheet of paper, take a photo of it and email it to the company... If someone wants to look at there schedule they have to log on to a Remote Desktop which takes no less the 2 min only to find an antiquated Windows 98 style interface. I have seen 135 operations with a more streamlined system of scheduling.
And you're right. 135s with more technology...I know one that is pretty cheap and even they invested in EFBs and computerized scheduling 7+ years ago. Even ahead of the majors.

All the other ACMI's (I consider us more of tradition airline...and when I mean tradition, your post describes it.) have more technology. My friends all laughed when I sent them the photo of me sitting in my hotel room with the bid packet spread out on the bed. ABX, the Amish airline. Lets have casual Fridays here...we can all dress up as a band of Amish walking through the door. Amish can drive tractors as long as they have steel wheels, right?

Sending an email for a trade having to wait for someone the next day to process it. Yeah 10 years behind in the technology department.

Management styles that are effective don't not try to beat employees down. Many studies have shown threats don't produce, yet that's all they know. Instead ATSG stands by their guys letting 50% of the pilots quit, making others want to retire early and alot of the rest seek jobs elsewhere. The rest grow hatred for the company.

I saw the ABX 1224 sign truck in CVG driving around the DHL / Amazon Prime Air buildings the other day. I wonder what else the Teamsters 1224 have planned for ATSG.
What's the Teamsters ABX 1224 twitter account?
I think they give contract updates there.
Do you think Amazon Prime day was affected at all by a pilot shortage? Will it be in the 4th Quarter?
