At one time! Airbourne Express was one of the best jobs in Aviation! 20 years later and JH and Soap bucket, it’s now one of the worse jobs in flying and getting worse everyday as the airline shrinks into nothing! Just amazing how people get paid to destroy a airline! Who would come here now to work with conditions so bad with so many choices out there! Evan for a short time?

I was one of those that was in the hiring pool and asked if I could make that training date, I declined.
With the work rules, lack of training hotel, and no chance to upgrade, I have removed myself from the hiring pool. I have other better opportunities, even it is a regional DEC.
Sad thing, I have a lot of international 757/767 experience and would have loved to fly with what I perceived was a great pilot group at ABX Air. I was looking forward to it, but I just can no longer ignore the whipsawing of ABX and ATI by ATSG.
I wish everyone at ABX Air the best, and I hope that you get a fair contract soon. You guys/gals deserve that!

Thank you Wings. Maybe someday ABX might return to be a desirable place to work. In the meantime look for better pastures somewhere else.

Every time I wash my a@@ there is an appropriate name that springs forward!

ABX is such a joke of an operation they don’t even have known crew member for there pilots...

When I got hired here, there was a lot of optimism and opportunity. Now there is nothing but negativity and zero opportunity.
It doesn’t matter how many guys retire, because when NAC gets up and running in Miami we are losing 2-3 airplanes to them.
You won’t ever get off reserve. Nor will you ever see an upgrade

This is a shrinking airline. Management hates ABX. I would not recommend anyone coming here.

Made the dumb mistake of making plans for my weekend off as an employee of ABX. Was just forcibly jr manned for 3 days and may get extended longer- ruined my plans and ****ed off the wife! Dont come here if you have any other options. They are shrinking the airline and still cant staff it properly.

The dumb mistake was not saying you were unavailable and going home. Try it sometime you will like it.
