i'm not with Airborn OR Direct.
My friend (still with AAI temporarilly) would not send me a copy of the Airborne email, but the guys are being told they MUST take unpaid leave, AND sign a contract at reduced terms.
Looks like they will be on the beach at least til March.... I guess that's better than the SingCargo guys. Their Unpaid Leave , Voluntary of course, is a LOT longer.....
