Some flights that are normally two legs (CVG-GSO-MIA and CVG-MIA-PTY as recent examples) that are dropping the first destination and going right to the final destination.

if you are ex-ABX my suggestion is you reach out to former colleagues for further information and to educate yourself on the situation.

It's easy to criticize from a distance. Pretty sure you'd be showing up on schedule if you were still here.
