Thats what our friends and family ask us all the time. Usually they assume ABX was some sort of toilet cleaner.
You want cool bag tags from the pilot shop at CVG? 500 pilot minimum just to get started. Otherwise 200 is just a waste of time to them. I was asked, “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.

Boy it's really too bad you did not figure out this earth shaking news before you decided to work in the ACMI world....you could have gone straight to United or Delta or American. I am sure its heart breaking.

I have never actually had this happen. Of course I don’t introduce myself as a pilot so the subject doesn’t always come up. Hmmmm maybe it is you.

That's like trying to explain how you get 5 weeks off in a row multiple times each year and still get paid.....why bother? I used to tell my father in law they fired me again. He eventually quit asking...

Hahah! Great response, I’m stealing it.
Working 121 FFD a little while now, my mother still asks “your home nearly half the month, sometimes more, and you still have a legitimate job?????”

Any comments or thoughts????? Buehler... Buehler...
Long interesting article, detailed, good comparisons? I find it very interesting, and much more light needed into 121 cargo carriers...
Meat and bones in the middle to end.
How accurate is the information being presented about amazon & also ABX?
