Also DHL pilots in Europe have more experience operating the type both ETOPS and within Europe and the Middle East.
And just how many 767s operate in Europe vs. the US? Your statement has no basis in fact. I bet the many 757/767 pilots from other operators such as Delta, CAL, UAL, would beg to differ. Do you know how many of those are employed at Abex or Atlas, or Polar? I doubt it. I wonder if you even know how many of that type airframe are operated by European Carriers.
This statement is just as laughable.
there is far more profit to be made in the Europe than USA
just because DHL is not currently making a profit in the US does not mean there is "far more profit to be made in Europe." Once again simply no basis in fact.
What is Verdi? Do you think the European pilots are somehow cheaper to employ? How do you know this?
US working practices ....hmmmm I can't remember the last time I had a job that had a government mandated one month a year vacation. Or a government mandated 24 hours of rest if I crossed more than 5 times Zones. Not making a comment on safety or work rules, only that your statements here are pure conjecture.
Are we going to get into the whole EU is just like the US thing? There are MANY US pilots living and working in Europe. That is not germane to your argument anyways. The statement or question is who DHL is going to place the 767s with. And neither one of your core ideas has merit. Sorry.
