You are welcome....also I am sure your jacka$$ LMAO remark was heartfelt.

There are many airlines that went Tango Uniform that furloughed a lot less than 80% of pilot group. Truly remarkable, and a tribute to the ABX pilot group that they survived that calamity and played a key role in building ABX up to where they are now vs 2009.

I personally do not believe the numbers posted are completely accurate. Generally speaking the first 11 or 12 first officers are not going to upgrade to captain (by their choice). Before you get to a 5 year guy there are 16 other f/o's (legacy) who will most likely take the proffers as they are offered. I would expect 10 captains to be upgraded this calendar year (+/- 2) leaving about 6 or so for the following year, 2021. So, without significant change (insert giggle here), it will most likely middle of next year (a year from this post) before a non-legacy first officer has an opportunity. Hope I'm wrong! :)

Yes....nothing is chiseled in stone. It is aviation and ABX after all. But who cares? One or two numbers either way. Have you talked to the fo's? I have...the ones who are eligible and want it number 13. Standards said 13 to upgrade this yr...that is a moving target but as close as it gets. Puts us one legacy FO (2000) hire date away..no more 22yr fo's as the bottom legacy fo has 18 yrs. Either way my response was more to the reason than the numbers.

Assessment during application process
 

Anybody have any information on what the assessment contains during the application process?

ABX Nice New 2-Plane Europe Rotation for DHL
 

A tip of the hat to my friends at ABX, and lets hope these flights last for a while, but for the moment at least, they're doing a nice 2-plane rotation ORD-EMA-CGN-EMA-ORD. One plane leaves, say, Wednesday morning and returns Thursday evening, while the other leaves Thursday morning and returns Friday evening, and so on. Currently using N317CM and N371CM, but ABX moves planes around a lot among assignments. The recent-but-now-returned-to-Amerijet CVG-EMA turns used a couple of the Pratt-powered 763s (219CY, 220CY and 226CY have Pratts), as well as 317CM.

Would be even nicer if they could get N363CM and N364CM (2 of their 9 767-300s) back on line from maint.

Anyone that’s applied hear back on anything? I’ve applied a couple months ago and nothing but crickets. I know they’ve ran a couple small classes as of late.

Same boat. No luck even with the help of a few internals.

I’ve got an internal too. Nothing.

ABX just started a class of 6 a few days ago. For now, nothing else planned in the near future. Of course there is always the possibility for another class or so but since there is no movement (i.e. attrition) I would not expect much.

In general, the company is less than stagnate and may be moving backwards. No growth, no pilot contract, poor working conditions. The pilot market is in turmoil so I respect those that need the job, regardless of its value. Wish I could offer more.
