I know in the past there was some issues but as of right now I haven’t seen or heard anything. This sounds like a bit of a straw man.

Same here. I have a friend at ABX who uses ATI to get to work and he said he never has problems. He said supposedly there is one old guy at ATI who denies it. I’m sorry there’s one bad egg out of 400.

The ABX Pilot group has at least one of their own to thank for that. This guy shows up "hat in hand" looking for a ride. Once airborne, he proceeded to trash not only ATI, but the crew that was giving him a ride. This fine individual took a big ol' steamer in ABX's bed after asking for and accepting a professional courtesy.

If anyone here knows who he is, please tell him how appreciative you are.

For what it's worth, my last ABX jumpseater was a pleasure to have aboard and would be welcome any time.

One was giving a line check to a new hire and took time to give me a few pointers as I was on IOE at the time. But I assure you this is not a straw man. It just happened again.

Yes. As I said in my post, I and most of my coworkers don't tell you what is best or how to vote at your airline. Why does the same vocal minority keep telling other groups what they should do or why their contract is inferior to theirs? We know what is wrong with our homes. We built them. We live in them every day. We have a plan and a budget to remodel and upgrade them. Some peoples houses are falling down around their ears but they just keep telling us how nice it was when they built it.
