GONNA BE LOTS MORE!!!
Thats because we are getting double volunteer pay to fly to keep our customers.
Plus "our" union the one that matters, has told us this is informational picketing nothing more.
I think this is why we are SO fat on crews. We are way over staffed to the point we could easily double pump the sort with day and night flights out of ILN. Seems like they are calling all the reserve guys in to ILN next week too.

To be fair your saying its ok for ATI management to acknowledge it as a strike but ALPA not to. Which is it a strike or not? I think ALPA could make the case that its not considered informational picketing in the eyes of ATI management so therefore we are going to honor the strike. And if thats the case the ATI guys are losing their leg to stand on to keep flying. Just my perspective.
No, that's not at all what I'm saying. I'm just saying that a memo from ATI's DO is not what makes them scabs.

Wasn't related, it was an LGBT issue that got out of hand. Company made HR decision moved people to hampton to prevent issues concerning safety. I don't think it was an assault/hate crime. Not sure of Ohio law...not a cop nor attorney

Amazon Cancelled till Friday.
Guys, for what it's worth, there are no ATI flights inbound to ILN as of 1303z. Normally, there would be 5 in the air by now. At least according to Flightaware and FR24. It is technically-possible that the flights are actually in the air and that management requested that the FAA restrict publicly showing the flights, but other ATI flights (military 757 combi THU-BWI, for example) are visibly in the air. And it doesn't strike me, frankly, that management would be savvy enough to do that.

I made a couple of calls this morning asking why ALPA has not been more involved. The main answer was unlike almost every single strike by non ALPA pilots in the past there was zero coordination from ABX prior to the strike. They did not notify ALPA, request any assistance or provide a declaration of what is considered struck work. As of this morning they have still done none of the above. ALPA is currently awaiting the judges decision on the legality of the strike and will assist ABX in any legal way possible if asked. Formulating a response and plan takes time. Prior coordination would have assisted in that greatly.

I dont know and neither does ALPA since there has been zero communication. That is why your union should have notified ALPA and delineated what constitutes struck work. In many if not most strikes the striking airline will approve crossing lines to assist customers in getting to destinations or goods shipped since the strike is not against the customer. What does ABX want? Each strike is unique that is why coordination is not only smart but essential.
