I'm pretty sure that the 1200 and 0000 feeding were to be upgraded to a Mexican or Chinese you eat all buffet. However, Connie wanted to upgrade their co-pay on them to $0.50 and that is going to have to go to arbitration.

DHL has sent out warnings to Kalitta regarding an impending Strike/Labor dispute.
Morale is at an all-time low.
Retardation is the Name of The Game and management is clueless as to the new level of idiocy that they have sunk to. Implosion is a word that comes to mind. ALL of the schedulers have quit, and the new French Fry servers are completely out of their depth. Dispatch...Same. Maintenance...Same.
Connie is 78...No One wants to work here anymore, and even New Hires ( still on IOE ) are not making any secret of the fact , that as soon as they get a call from ANY other airline....They are gone.
Good-Bye K4...It was fun to know ya'. !
Other than that....I've had some fun here.

We elected the heads of our Union, and they have accepted that responsibility. Let them do their job at the pace they feel is relevant and effective and just sit back and enjoy the ride. Believe when I tell you that it will end too soon.

Thailand... probably not more than a few times per year. Beware though... the ONLINE schedule is probably only about 40% of our daily flying. Adhocs, mil charters etc... never show on the schedule. Generally that is only DHL and Pacific Air Cargo... and maybe the North Atlantic Freight contract from AMS.
