My limited experience with our new hire Hispanic pilots at ABX has been quite different. The ones I have worked with have been pretty damned good. I don’t see any less ability or competency with them than with the young millennial RJ guys we have hired. In fact, one of the older Puerto Rican guys I have flown with could move to the left seat tomorrow and do a fine job, he’s got a solid background.

Is this honestly what the pay is?! Embellishing or being serious? If it is that's astounding. How do you guys operate at that pay? I'm on a CRJ and make just a tad over $100K and work about half the month. I'm not trying sound facetious at all honestly. If thats really the pay I'm dumbfounded how those aircraft move at all. I'm pretty shocked really. I take it no one, NO ONE, is showing up to class for this. If I were offered a job and they told me that was the pay I think I'd have a good laugh and then say, no really whats the pay? Edited because I also want to add, you gentlemen/Ladies deserve much better. Best of luck.

I think you've entirely missed the point that some of us enjoy the tradeoffs of ACMI flying to the point that we don't want to be burdened with the NB hub-hub turns or sitting thru a sort and are willing to horsetrade to keep the lives we have.
I can't think of many people where I am now who would willingly make the trade for "big 3" pay if it meant losing the type of schedules we get. Insinuating that we're all underpaid unless we're following "big 3" or FedEx type rules is ludicrous.

This information needs to get out to the investment community. That would put monetary pressure on the Atlas / ATSG management. Parked airframes don’t make money and negatively affect the bottom line with leasing/maintenance costs.

You probably know better but 7 seems high. There are currently 13 with one of those maybe leaving. Six others were re-leased and exported, and one was WFU and is now a parts donor. Of the 13, six are dry-leased to Amazon plus one operational spare, one military, two currently DHL (probably going to 1), and 2 used on other stuff. So that seems like 12 of the 13. Still, of course, plenty of growth opportunity if the Superfund site of workplace toxicity is ever abated...

I have tendency to agree with Dogo and Jackstraw more so on this one...
