I've been following this story for the past few days. ABX Air flies around 250 aircraft for DHL. I think Astar flies another 50 odd. By closing the Ohio base which is home to ABX will cause a staggering amount of flight crew layoffs. Do the math with a MINIMUM of 4 crews per aircraft.

Although not confirmed yet, I feel we are seeing the beginnings of MAJOR pilot layoffs. Brace yourself ladies and gents!

Good luck DHL guys,

Cheers
