I have heard rumors of "third world" based and operated freighters for a year or more. It was to be ASL-II or the-son-of-ASL. I personally thought that after the "intergration" that the idea had been dropped. Guess not.
It is amazing what this management will do the further anger the pilots. In the midst of the current negotiations and turmoil to attempt to pull of a new "scheme" is simply amazing. Have they really lost it?
