In fairness to AT wrt AHK, that was child's play. AHK is a time critical, express cargo operation. It runs pretty much like clockwork. There are spare aircraft and reserve crews. Guys know what they are signing up for when they go to AHK, and that is pretty much what they get. To my knowledge, there is none of the deceptive recruitment / bait & switch tactics like at CX. I doubt AT had many serious challenges at AHK. Bringing the old, clapped out CX 744BCFs online was probably the most difficult change at AHK in years. Frankly, I'm not sure how they keep those crappy aircraft running reliably. There must be more emphasis on proper aircraft maintenance there than at CX/KA.
