For the first time since 2009, ABX Air will again be performing regular flight service out of Wilmington, Ohio (ILN). AGS (Airborne Global Solutions) has entered into a contract to operate a small system moving cargo between domestic points. It begins on September 14, 2015, utilizing both ATSG carriers on a 7-day-per-week schedule. This system will begin by operating two B767-200 aircraft on routes out of Ontario, California (ONT) and Allentown, Pennsylvania (ABE) through Wilmington and expand a few weeks after initial start up to add B767-200 aircraft operating from Tampa, Florida (TPA) and Oakland, California (OAK). We are under a strict Non Disclosure Agreement with AGS's customer; therefore this business is being referred to as "Aerosmith." ABX will operate the ONT-ILN-ONT route beginning September 14 and the TPA-ILN-TPA route beginning September 28. LGSTX and AGS are handling the ground, limited sort, loading of airplanes, and the truck inbound and outbound activity here in ILN and also managing the out-base operations. We are very excited about this opportunity, and while this operation is currently being done on a short term contract, we are looking to do everything that we can to make it a success and have it extended and hopefully expanded over time.

A year ago the stock was around $300 a share.
It closed yesterday at $563 a share.

They have special "hospitals" with special medicine for people like you. They even have real doctors that come and visit you every day.
Good luck with that ...

I'd bet a steak dinner that he doesn't work for a company that has unmanned 767 aircraft.
He seems to have a VERY big imagination. Does he hear voices also?

That was a question I asked, and a previous post by someone else as well as what was explained to me by Amazon management kinda spelled out that they quickly disposed of buying a company that has plenty of problems in place would be off the mark for Amazon. Incidentally, I have posted on APC before and have been a user since 2011.
