You know, with 21Air taking over the Aeromex routes out of LAX from ABX, I was wondering how long it would be before the first service failure. So, after two weeks, N881YV has been sitting at LAX since Wednesday. Six segments missed so far, and counting. N999YV, their other aircraft, is still sitting at Stambaugh Aviation, and I don't see where anybody provided subservice. "Cargo South" has gone south, and we'll see how long it takes to get back up.

Pilot list ABX
In 2009 the ABX seniority list consisted of 585 pilots. Today, that’s 10 years later ABX pays less than in 2009 and has less than half the 585 pilots. See what management has done the past 10 years??
Where would you like to be in 10 years??

Actually...the latest new hires are not desperate at all. Good bunch of guys tired of regional flying. Most have plenty of jet experience and wanted to add a wide body type and see where it leads them. They are very realistic about what is going on at ABX . They also understand without a contract, ABX is probably not a career airline. In the mean time it helps improve their resume with at least the same money after 1 yr. At least the ones I have worked with anyway. They also were not been told they be upgrading in 2 yrs like the 2016 new hires.

Update -- as of almost-midnight Saturday in LAX, 21 Air's N881YV seems still to be on the ground. Down for more than three days, 10 segments missed. Although pride and inertia at Aeromex will probably keep them from calling ABX back anytime soon, having their El-Cheapo ACMI carrier go down for three days after just two weeks of service is not an auspicious start.
