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.

That 10-mile visibility and 4-knot wind straight on the nose probably made the landing challenging. (But I shouldn't be snarky; there but for the grace of God goes anybody.)

Joe Patroni said all it needed was a little speed tape.

It really does present itself that way. That or a merger.
From the whispers, negotiation have been rough again. Rumors of we are giving them the World but its not good enough. It feels like another concessionary contract, but we’ll give you higher rates and maybe a bump in retirement. So people are supposed to get worked to death on non-stop min rest layovers while trying to sleep during the day...and with a small raise. Gtfo!
Even when we were getting planes and work, guys still thought the job was tough. Why make the environment worse for guys looking to come here. Do you want to see more than one guy show up to class? Because it doesn’t only waste the Unions time, but all the managements time too. Having one guy who can teach 10+ in a class now gets to teach one.
Why should the future of ABX rest solely on our shoulders? Understand that current market requires a change.
Maybe if you do first class or best class travel, hotel points, free breakfast, 16%DC, Omni/K4 or better rates with a 75 hr guarantee...then we can talk about gutting all the work rules you want. Hey! We can even throw in that homebasing you want too.
