I'm a 5000+hr pilot with 4000-ish of that being multiturbine PIC in 135 turboprops. I'm current and qualified in 767. 4yr degree and nothing crazy in my background. Applied to ABX and not a peep so far. Any advice?

When did you compete the app? Do you know anyone at ABX-these are direct referrals they in officially go to front of the line.
I would send a follow up letter...basically a schmooze letter. Getting their attention seems to work.

Completed the app the day they opened the window. No, I don't know anyone there. I'll try the letter. Thanks

During the past few months I've meet a lot of recruiters and I learned one thing that was interesting. They really look at your background and try to find those that aren't gonna go anywhere after hired.

For instance, with your total time, why and where did you get 76 current? Is there someplace else your looking to use that time? What city do you live in? Does it have a crew base for a major airline? That kind of stuff they really look at.

I applied, like you, the day the window opened. 11,000 total time some 121 regional from 10 plus years ago and the rest is corp PIC, international, plenty of crossings, yada yada.... Got called a couple of days after applying. Who knows why, but I can tell you there is no major airline in my future. No degree, bounced between 121 and corp. Chased money my whole career and looking to settle down now. Not exactly the perfect path I've chosen as Yoda would say.

There really is so much in our pasts that people in HR look at and its almost impossible to narrow it down. I would keep trying though. The next call may be to you. Good luck!

Watching some of the back and forth between the ABX and ATI guys, if I were you, I'd stop it now. Get together and get on the same page. I don't have a dog in this fight, as I haven't been hired, YET! But I plan on accepting the position if offered and there's one thing I've seen in my career that I hope not to see again, is the whipsaw.

If you guys start fighting over who's the best and who's gonna get more flying, then it's over for you. Get on the same page and maybe, just maybe you'll stand a chance at being merged to cut costs instead of being pitted against each other to cut costs for more flying. I've lived through this story at a wholly owned years ago and they are still fighting to this day.

Work together and the world is yours....

Wonderful thought; but just one issue sticks I'm my craw: the HR director at ATI was trashing ABX in front of one of our new to be new hires. Joe Hete has knowledge of this fact as well. She was caught lying by our HR director. Once you are offered the job this week, you will see how it is at ABX. How's Lunken field btw?

Reading and fishing here if it will be a good move in trusting my future in ABX chances to make it I gotta admit there is nothing attracting about this company.

A pilot group with a bad attitude, which hasn't learnt anything from the aviation's turmoil in the last 15 years.

Company ( employees ) with a 1990s mentality.

One company, two pilot groups, one overpaid and one underpaid. That's weird and probably will not end up well.

If Amazon goes away, the company is doomed and every new hired plus the recalled ones will be out of his/her job. Everything else is just empty words.

The company doesn't give a crap about new employees. Crappy pay, until second year pay, and very willing to get rid off anybody considered cheap labor. I bet there will be a lot of training wash outs.

New people are not welcomed by the existent pilot group.

ABX looks like a company ready to die but somehow, by some kind of a miracle, is still kicking.

Regarding Amazon?!..... Same as Blockbuster. A lot of investment ( because some Amazon hire up has an " extraordinary " idea which if it doesn't work out everything will go to crap ) but when someting or someone with a another popular idea will come along, no more Amazon.

Bottom line, ATSG ain't Fedex, UPS or Atlas ( companies which have a business plan )

Intriguing. Do we know each other? I don't live there but "worked" under a company there. Or was this for someone else?
