Great info here!

1st year 767 pay (at $38/hr at 65 hour credit per month) and trying to live in KIX is insane, is ABX furnishing a dorm or doing any kind of COLA? Having spent my fair share of time in KIX, I don't see how a guy could make it.

There are different stories on the 2nd year pay thing. I talked to one of the guys that was hired for kix and he said that was just a rumor when he hired on and that they never said it would be 2nd year pay. I'm afraid I started that rumor (see ABX is Hiring thread) a while back. I did however say that it was just a rumor. DHL has said they are going to park some more 9s, but in the same breath we pick up some more cities from Astar that the 9 will fly so who really knows. I still say something is going to happen (merger) after the first of the year. Boxhauler, you got your letter right???? You going to the 9???

The most recent rumor is that DHL wants ABX to put back into service 10 airworthy DC-9s currently parked. I don't know if we have the crews.

Sat AM outbound they canceled 2 flights due to lack of Captains..........

But we are adequately staffed says the Bobs......

Ya know at some companies people have lost their jobs over less. I am still waiting for Mr. Graber to make his presence known, oh yeah I forgot he opened the KIX domicile. I had such high hopes that an outsider could shake up the "old boys" club. I guess the bonus money is just too appealing.
