Well people here have to tell blame something to make themselves feel better about their decisions to stay at Amerijet. All those “airplanes”, “routes”, “upgrades” and “money” sure panned out. This place is going back to ye’ old mom and pop shop rust corner airline of Miami. That is, if the investors don’t tear it down and close shop. Now they are actually returning the 757s back to the lessor. So much for 25 airplanes and growing.

Currently only two 757s but all of them being returned.

Two clapped out DHL owned tails 767-200 are also being removed, one of them currently being returned as I write this.

AJT down to just 10 leased AJT tails and 3 Maerks owned tails. Rumor is Maerks will be pulling that contract also and having the airplanes be flown by another carrier—but this is just rumor— sad.

All the hype just a year ago about this place being so amazing to work for and how many captain slots are available. All the hate towards many of us who left for better carriers, including people leaving for the big 3.
guess who’s laughing now?
good old ACMI model strikes again.

That does not sound very inspiring. I hope that there is work at AJ for everyone that wants it and opportunities for people to head where they want vs. any of the less fun options out there. During my time there, I was furloughed out of senority, spent some time out of work, and then offered to come back to 727 Engineer groundschool for no pay during the course and buy my own hotel. Very different times and I would never wish that on anyone.

Best of luck to y'all

As if UPS & FedEx aren't parking aircraft and trying to unload their very expensive pilots any way they can short of furloughs. ACMI companies are not the only ones feeling the pinch of reduced cargo volumes.
