Doesn't the CMI agreement between ABX and DHL for many more planes end early next year? I think it's safe to assume that whoever gets these 4 will also be in line to get the next 20.

Just heard that the EXCOs from ABX, Atlas, Kalitta and Southern have signed a letter saying they will not undercut each other. What will that mean when the company bids on and wins the flying for the four 767s? Not to mention 13 more next year.
I'm guessing it will mean nothing.

ABX management approached the ABX exco with the 737 proposal and the rates were such a joke that they turned it down. Southern exco accepted their current 737 pay scale, and we recognize we needed changes going forward to make sure were not undercutting each other. Im not placing any blame on southern, this was a new thing for local 1224, so we have since shored up this problem.
If you really believe that you need to be drug tested immediately!
