Damn, I bet. At least they gave you a heads up.

At least they were flying the aircraft back to the hub! When Midway Airlines (the Dave Hinson version) shut down suddenly, my ex was station manager in PHX (an outstation). She got a teletype that the inbound aircraft was/were just to be left at the gate and stipped of certain consumables, and the lessors could damn well come and pick up the aircraft themselves. (I don't remember whether it was one aircraft or two; I seem to remember two.) It would be her job to break the news officially to the crews.

I got a call from her in the middle of the night Texas time. She had the crewmembers in her office, and I got to remotely join their little farewell-party by speakerphone. It sounded as if the liquor kits had been the first consumables removed from the aircraft. :-)

Hard pressed to find liquor kits on ABX aircraft.... Some of the colorful types may have private stashes though!

Typical dysfunction
 

Abx is crying to the union
They need help building the November Bid Pack ! No one is left to put the schedules together. What a joke , I guess I can add Abx Air to the incompetence list, but we all knew this anyway !

We’re getting added flying

I know are old CP is picking up trips that never show in open time...

Everyone here is skywhoring though

Everyone? You should be careful with that word. I have not picked up one opentime trip since I got hired 2+ years ago.

What old Chief Pilot?

Doesn’t it suck that some people keep on picking up trips from open time?

Lived thru that too...

"Are" old ABX chief pilot is an instructor at UPS. The one prior to him is an instructor at FDX...who else you have in mind?^
