Parked airframes? I'm pretty sure Atlas World Holdings / Titan leasing(same company right?) makes money because some one is flying those airplanes. Just like how Atlas always secures long term contracts and finds some one to fly them. If it isn't Atlas pilots, then it's Kalitta doing the Incheon run, if not Kalitta, it's Western Global, etc.

My comments are not essentially Hispanic oriented verses new-hires in general. Of course I haven't flown with everyone either (although most...).
I have tendency to agree with Dogo and Jackstraw more so on this one...

Not defending poor phraseology on the radio. Defending having accents.

Still, of course, plenty of growth opportunity if the Superfund site of workplace toxicity is ever abated...
The problem is that the ABX employees are stuck with a management leadership that is not tuned to the reality of the market. The ABX upper management is still thinking it’s 2009 and they are asking for concessions. They are masking those concessions by offering a modest pay increase and then demanding a give back that equates to 1.5 times the offered pay increase. What are they smoking?
On a side note, it’s interesting to see that Joe H has not dropped the title of CEO of ABX Air. I wonder what that means. What is your take on it?
