Seems like this having 4-6 in a class just does nothing. Immediately they can plan on people not showing up, quitting after a few days or washing out. They probably had their hopes up for something like Kalitta or Atlas walking in day 1.

Default ABX growing lol

So management had a meeting with senior advisors, our POI and check airmen this past week to share that Abx is hiring and upgrading !
Woo hoo....

What a joke they think they can hire 50 pilots in the next 5 months and upgrade 8-12 Captains... dispatchers have to ask a supervisor for help.. scheduler's call you in crew rest and pretend oh gosh I'm sorry ...payroll can't pay your correctly....they have a relic computer crew trac system ...Bid awards change multiple times, so don't book any engagement's right away, better wait for revision number 2 to come out two days later.... Today the crew trac system has been out all day??? They forgot to feed the rabbits that run the servers!

ATSG is a joke ! Our POI in attendance stated "the amount of complaints from pilots about the maintenance of airplanes and adherence to any guidelines at ABX in recents months has never been higher"

New flying in ILN this summer??!!!! HELLO wake up JH you're six months behind!

So please ...please come to ABX, fly our well maintained airplanes. Our deferred items have been the lowest in history... that's mgm't claim. Yet read the previous statement's again.

ATSG Board needs to get their HEAD our of their a....

As another post stated awhile ago " RUN FOREST RUN"

For the people thinking of coming to ABX, it’s been 1536 days since our CBA has been amendable (management has no desire to negotiate with the union), the latest upgrade was a 1996 hire... once hired you will be on reserve forever. Our scheduling programs/software is out of the mid 90’s, to complete your monthly bid one must fill out a sheet of paper and send it to scheduling, to check your schedule you must log on to a Remote Desktop. If one is forced to work overtime, it is a huge fight and could take months to revive bonus pay. If anyone has questions before the come to ABX feel free to PM me.

As a side note, he upgraded in February of 2017 and has been the bottom guy ever since. Over two years now with no upgrades at this place.

I don't use a remote desktop at all....just the Flight Web pg works fine. Also 8 upgrades and 24 new hires planned. All really to cover some of the attrition.
