Amazon has got to remember their packages getting stranded with ABX with the surprise strike. Part of their brand is the reliability of getting your stuff in certain timeframes. Has amazon added any ABX flying since the strike?

I know ABX periodically threatens to disrupt black friday or peak but don't think anything happened this last time around. Doesn't seem like a path to growth though if they can't fly existing work.

They really haven’t added anything. Thank you for reminding everyone is an ABX interview worth it.

When you mean ABX “can’t fly existing work,” what do you mean? Like the ABX is doing soft strikes or currently and intentionally disrupting service?

People, please quit believing the rhetorical BS coming from JH’s executive suite in ILN. You asked if Amazon has added any ABX flying after the strike. The contract with Amazon is with ATSG. However ATSG decides to assign the AMZ flights is an internal decision. Amazon could care less who flies them as long as they are flown. JH threatened the ABX EXCO chairman to take planes away if we didn’t take a pay cut. This was during the summer of 2016, before the strike. The EXCO counteroffer a compromise plan with the only stipulation of dividing the fleet evenly between the two airlines, ABX & ATI. JH refused it. In October of that same year, 2016, the whole EXCO offered to drop the “D6 Case” in return for just one more tail number to be assigned to ABX. Again ATSG refused the offer. This lack of flights and/or airplanes at ABX has nothing to do with AMZ. It is an internal decision from ATSG.

The ABX Negotiating Committee has asked Sudsy for the AMZ letter claiming that no more flights be assigned to ABX. Mr. Clean (Sudsy) can’t produce it. That means it is all a big lie. BIGGLIE!!! Like another “business magnate” likes to say.

They love it....cheap labor at 2009 contract prices. He is a hero to them. The freight moves at record on time performance numbers with delays going to maintenance.

Still no contract in sight despite management saying it's just around the corner.

No projected aircraft delivery.

A contract and airplanes will be just two pieces of the puzzle. This company could use a little more than just that. At this rate every new hire is going to spend an eternity on reserve! And if you are going to do endless reserve, you might as well look at other companies.

Honestly, if i’m so far down the reserve list, why should I even be coming to work? Why don’t we have a long call reserve system? No, You can gamble or sit 3 days in CVG with nothing to do just have them throw a 24/7 after those 3 days. If you have no crashpad, thats 3 days camping at the DHL hub living off pizza from the cafeteria.
