Conus flying at ABX is pretty good duty, altho the future is a little vague. Most US work is under ACMI to DHL, hub is ILN (Wilmington, OH), with a charter base in MIA (767 only- goes relatively senior). You are also aware of the Osaka base for ANA. Brief summary: Relations with company are strained. Pilot group are longtime Brotherhood of Teamsters. Good contract, but has been up for renewal for 2 years with no progress. DC9 aircraft are not favored by DHL due to inability to handle A containers, although the aircraft is more economical and reliable than the ASTAR 727's (IMHO). Nontheless, rumor is there will be a DC9 newhire class or two early 08. 2 additional 767s being dedicated to DHL system this year, and this aircraft is clearly the future of the operation. ABX holding company is in the act of acquiring Capital Air Cargo just to complicate things. Basically, it's a good gig, with some problems. Just hope it lasts till the end of the ride (like everyone else!) Hope this helps.
