Nope, CVG and MIA are the bases, CVG is the largest. 13 days off a month.

QOL compared to other ACMI company?

CASS?

Do they have reciprocal jump seat agreement with Air Canada?

Would you leave a good regional with good seniority with for ABX?

Decision Decision! Its a calculated risk.

Yes they are in CASS, No idea on the Air Canada j/s. ACMI carriers live and die by their contracts, it is a risk. I think ABX has 2 or 3 years left of their current 5 year deal.

Although APC has "interviews have stopped" for ABX's profile, I somehow managed to get a call for an interview today. Could anyone please give me an idea for the interview process? I have used the search function already and NADA. Any up to date info on benefits? My background: Corporate 6000+TT 4000TPIC mostly jet, 4 year degree no internal rec. Thanks!

I got the call for an interview yesterday as well, and was also shocked. It was been at least three months since I applied. My times and situation are almost identical to Flyboyike, about 4600 tt, 3500 jet, some Jet PIC, and no rec. I also would love to get some intel on the interview process and QOL. Did the search function and not much out there, at least nothing current in the last year.

Maybe they didn't have as many applicants as they expected?

Possibly...... I'm not even sure how long the window was open. I stumbled upon it on our own union board at my current airline when another guy put it up. I have a feeling that it's been so long sine they hired that people probably hadn't been paying much attention to them. So you may be right, they didn't get many applications.
