Just flew my first Aerosmith flight. It went smoothly with good loading and unloading and a decent load. It was nice to fly coast to coast!

What pilot group is contracted for this project? Where can one apply?

ABX Air and ATI, the contract is through their parent company ATSG. I suspect both airlines will be hiring in the Spring.

Smart move by Bezos
 
FDX and UPS are an oligopoly and can basically charge whatever they want. Bezos's move is called vertical integration. I foresee the delivery service moving from a cost center to a profit center.

Certainly good news for anyone at ATSG, but I've been wondering what the long term potential is for any new hires going forward with any carrier associated with this. Life certainly turned out well for guys carrying freight for Brown when it was all brought in house.

Also interesting is that the OP hasn't posted in a month.

Yep, just as soon as the union, Teamsters 1224, and the company can rid themselves of those pesky furloughees!
