Thanks
I don't work there but have been reading a lot on them and here's what I found, most of which is in these ABX/ATI threads.

The pay scale on this site, I was told is from a few years ago and should be 7% higher. Just what I have read.

No home base for ABX. Must commute or live in base.

The following below was an answer to one of my questions in this thread. Hope it helps.

Commuting into CVG... ABX work day is from 3AM to 3AM. Because of this you can commute into CVG on any DHL flight, they all land prior to 3AM and all outbound flights depart after 3AM. At ABX, if you are booked on the flight and you don't make it in, no harm. You just make up the day on a later day off.

Each airplane has 4-5 jumpseats

Lines are a mixture of 17 on 14 off and week on week off. I'm 12 from the bottom and can hold which ever pattern I want if you factor in reserve."

If Amazon really takes off as planned, they should re-open ILN as a domicile.

Random thoughts/questions: The contract looks to be amendable in 2014....is there any talk of a new contract? Does the company provide lodging and full pay while in training? The fact that ATI is under the same umbrella as ABX seems like it would not be good for either ABX or ATI pilots in any kind of contract talks (going against each other in a race to the "bottom").

We're in contract negotiations. If you've never been in an airline union before you need to realize that the contract usually goes a couple of years past the amendable date. You also need to realize you're on probation for the first year and there's not much the union can do for you if the airline decides to can you. You will want to keep your head down for the first year and just do your job. Just the facts of life.

And we're hoping ATI won't try and race us to the bottom cause we're not going to play that game!

Pilots are based at CVG and MIA, but soon to be CVG only.

Ticket to work? That would be no.

Extended, more of a will be than can. ABX has always run lean on pilots and relied upon pilot greed and then junior manning to make up for it.

Not sure what went wrong, but maybe the test at the end has triggers built in to sort through the applications. I got a call for an interview about a week after I applied, but I declined the invitation, because of my availability.
