4 ABX 767's going out for bid
ABX currently operating 4 767's owned by DHL. They are going out to bid. Just the start. To try to prevent loss, union must agree to pay cut, restructure long-term disability (dessiminate) and reduce to crew rest to FARs. 2 weeks to decide. Rest of the planes go next. Not even part of the current contract negotiation. Who will compete? Everybody!!! Southern... Kallita.... Atlas.... This will be a free for all. And it's just the beginning.

"Going out to bid" = what?
Does that mean DHL is looking for someone other than ABX to fly those 4 jets? Are those 4 jets for sale?
"rest of planes go next" = whose planes? Go where?
everyone "competing" for what?
