What are the schedules like at ABX?
17 days in a row 13 off...some lines 2 trips per Month some 3 trips per month and then required work on your days off for Jr mann. You will be tagged for it.
Is training AQP? No
Home based or based only at CVG? Only cvg
Move along nothing to see here, management hates pilots and treats them with threats of furlough and no signs of a new contract. 40% have quit in last 2 years.

Ah, well. I was hoping for something interesting, but I guess not right now.
One thing that was curious in the shareholder presentation (besides the fact that mgmt said probably no ABX contract until at least next year) was the asset table that projected 4 more airframes moving from CMI/lease to mere Dry Lease this year. One of those could be 399CM, which is the Aloha aircraft, but an EWAG is that the rest are aircraft that are currently operated by ABX. I think the original number was 5, and of course N775AX just left for Europe. It's hard to imagine another 3-4 aircraft leaving ABX this year, but that sure seems like what the presentation suggests. They seem to love that wet-to-dry lease program, but if they shrink ABX too much, all that overhead falls onto a lot less airline revenue. I understand that the leasing business is a lot easier and has a much-higher ROI (at the moment) for Hete and Co., but the fact is that robust operations in all segments of their business would be better still, even if it means that they have to continue to deal with those pesky pilots...
