Because other carriers under the ATSG umbrella are hiring that's why! You can have the same deal...if you are willing to give up something.
Quite frankly, we don't want your deal. I really hope you did not give up to much on such a fools errand.

I do hope ABEX pilots get priority hiring at the associated airlines- not because they're entitled to it, but just out of general good will towards my fellow pilots, who I'd hate to see working at Home Depot. But trying to put yourself ahead of the pilots who've put in the time at ATI working long and hard towards a contract that probably isn't the equal of even the concessionary ABEX contract isn't a cool move. Truly it is a fool's errand, giving up anything in exchange for what isn't yours to bargain for.
