ABX 767s???
 

Does anyone know where ABX's 767s are going?? APC shows that ABX has 14 767s. ABX used to have 43 767s and I read there are 7 767s going to Amerijet. Any idea where the remaining 22 planes went??

Just curious cause it doesn't add up.

I also heard some are headed to Amerijet. not sure of the remaining birds, probably back to the leasing company

The non-freighter 767's will be parked. As part of the ACMI between ABX and DHL, ABX sold the aircraft back to DHL. Since they have no cargo doors they will not be used by DHL unless they put cargo doors on them. The remaining freighters are being used for contracts with TNT, DOD and the remaining DHL freight. 5 are slated to go to Amerijet, but it may get haulted due to status quo laws involving the RLA and National Mediation Board. In other words, the dry lease to amerijet is illegal and the union is fighting it. Stay tuned it should get interesting!

Amerijet has made a mockery out of their negotiations with the IBT. They have stated that they have an agreement to move ABX freight, utilizing ABX aircraft. All of this has come up in talks with certain check airmen who have been compliant for that company. The company has never discussed this with the Local (769), and feels that it is within its right to operate these aircraft, which is standard for them. They have always refused to discuss scope with the union negotiators, and even after four years of negotiations, refuses to acknowledge it. I can't believe that professional ABX pilots would be furloughed, so AJT - the most virulent anti-union (and worst cargo airline in terms of compensation and benefits) - could keep its sorry pilot group employed. I hope that ABX and the IBT will fight this for all its worth.
