Yes I would say half of our commuters do it off line.

How long could a new hire plan on sitting reserve? Do you have long call and short call?

At this point with all the growth it's hard to say. I'd guess a couple years anyways. I've been here 18 years and cannot consistently hold a line (not that I want to since I live local). But again we are headed into uncharted waters.

No long/short call. Two hour call out only. Sometimes you will sit hot reserve at the airport for either a 7 or 10 hour stretch.

I commute on non ABX carriers. Primarily into CVG on DHL carriers. Atlas is great!

ATI works, but signing up for their Jumpseat is quirky and you can get bumped without getting a courtesy call. I've seen that happen and had it happen to me, and when it does, it blows.
I won't be riding them for the time being for a variety of reasons.

As for riding on us, it isn't possible to jumpseat internationally.
There is no logical reason for this, meaning it was a decision made by management.

Got the interview invite yesterday. Does ABX provide positive space? Hotel? Rental car (a stretch, I know)? In my excitement I forgot to ask Tracy.

Obviously you haven't done your homework. Good luck

Haven't seen anything on this thread about it and searching threads with my phone is not ideal. Thanks for your "help."

Big NO is the answer to all of your questions.
