Maybe DHL awards use those new 777's, maybe some some, maybe none. Maybe we buy more of our own? It would not surprise me if we wind up with 15 or just 1.
777's are the future, but Connie is going to get all of his money out of the 74 fleet, as he did with the classics.

Those who like the comfort of stable schedules, airport terminals, 4 days of flying then back home for some time off, will likely not stick around for ever. K4 can easily be made a career option if you can get over the certain luxuries of a 121 airline.
Alex, I'll take, "Paid deadhead twice a month and five star hotels for 500"

It's a simple fix, only allow certain people the ability to use that company or fleet wide email address. My previous employer did just that after just one instance of people not using email correctly. I find it amusing that "email abuse" is one of the top complaints at an airline.

Thread Bump!!
Have any of these issues gotten any better with time and a new contract?
-Retirement leaves a lot to be desired. Hopefully it's a priority for the next contract because to attract and retain young talent it needs to change.
-Work rules are weak, not awful, but could use some better language in certain areas w/ QoL improvements on the next contract.
-It's ACMI, they're upgrading like crazy now but tomorrow they can be furloughing if we lose a contract or oil skyrockets. That's any job in aviation, but ACMI is especially vulnerable.
-If you're on the 74 side, fighting w/ Travel & Scheduling over CBA complaint Travel/Pairings can be annoying.
-Training leaves a lot to be desired.
