Some still show up even though there is a 50% chance they fail training or quit within the first 2 years. Alot of guys are even quitting to go to other ACMI carriers!

The problem for ABX is folks are leaving faster than they can replace them. We even had a 25+ year captain leave for UPS recently. The FO list shrinks every month. A sinking ship.

And it’s just getting started good. The floodgates are about to break loose. Premium pay reminiscent of 2016 is right around the corner.

This might be true. New crew letter from VP of ops announcing Captain classes starting in May and new hire classes through September due to increased Amazon flying. Also acknowledged coming retirements and “forecast attrition.” D6 days are probably coming. Soap scum might want to consider getting serious about CBA negotiations.

Soap scum serious about negotiations. Lol The guy and his team have been at abx for over 2 years and agreed on 1 definition. You think he will ever be serious?

This year is setting up just like 2016. For those that were not around then he is a short is history lesson.

ABX needed to hire for growth. They didn't start in time and when pilots did finally start to come they realized this place is a dumpster fire and quit in droves.
Pilots went on strike because vacations were big denied. Everyone was forced to work on days off.

Fast forward to today pilots still quitting and going back to regionals, going to omni and Kalitta, and Any other place as soon as the phone rings. They can't keep up with attrition and there is no way they can hire for any growth because when they do finally get a class together some get smart and turn down the class date.

I'm going to make a bold prediction 4 the 4th qu 2019 everybody will be getting jr manned yet again because theu will be about 20 pilots short. Fun fun... required to work on your days off!

[QUOTE=point432;2782537]Who is? ABX?


Thats funny. The typical question when someone asks who you work for and then after you say (any acmi...abx, ati, omni, atlas) they get this look on their face like......ohh you're not a real pilot.
