Capital Cargo 727s

[titansox]

Capital Cargo 727s are being retired today. They are being ferried out to ILN for storage this afternoon. A lot of pilots are being furlowed as a result

Sad to hear that.

Best of luck to the Cappy pilots.

Sad day. Good luck to the cappy guys.

Sad to see it happen. Welcome to the major airline version if the "UPS shuffle".

Actually this is a big mess...... a lot of furloughs are being disputed as out of seniority amongst the pilots at the "new" ATI.

120 from the ATI side and about 100 from the Cappy side.

The Cappy 757s should be bearing the ATN callsign soon too.

Just wait till Hete tries to merge them into ABX!

Writing is already on the wall; even more so now with the furloughs and moving ATI's OCC to ILN.

ICAO/IATA: ABX/GB (maybe 8C)
CALL: ABX Air
AOC: IXXA544T

Aircraft:
B767-200F
B767-300F
B757-200F
B757-200C

Union: ALPA (unless 1224 really pulls together)
Dispatch: Global Flight Source, Inc.

Might be for the best at this point. Three airlines, essentially doing the same thing, under one holdings company wasn't going to last forever.

Just wait till Hete tries to bring ATI's contract to ABX...... 1224 will go nuclear. Most ABX guys would go broke within a matter of weeks on ATI pay.

Which is why ALPA might survive. A lot of Capital guys stand to make out "great" when the dust finally settles.

Wonder is the former ABX DC-9 Capt that was fired for putting the jet in the approach lights in ILN is still at CCI?

 

[----****]

Not sure.... maybe someone else can take that one. I was at the "original" ATI

 

[A-300F4-622R]

ALPA won't stand a chance as all of 1224 furloughees are allowed to vote.

Where's 316CM this week? Saw it in SDF last week.

Indeed it is

What's going to happen to the ABX furloughs that are at ATI and will be getting furloughed?

CCI and ATI are nowhere near "major" airlines.

Where's 316CM this week? Saw it in SDF last week.

It was "stuck" in TUS for over a week on a charter due to permit issues after it came out of its C-Check in ILN. ATI was able to get some UPS peak flying for it while the charter was put on hold. It flew out of LCK to SDF/RFD/DFW for about three days. Then it was ferried to MIA and flew about three trips to BOG. Now its just sitting.

N761CX was ferried to ILN yesterday for its check. I think 761CX is a D-check and probably a re-paint.

What's going to happen to the ABX furloughs that are at ATI and will be getting furloughed?

That was a mess all in itself. They are seat locked for maybe 5 years at ATI. Since this massive furlough took crews from all over the SL, its hard telling where they ended up (furlough went into effect on 27DEC).

Take a gander over at APC in the Cargo section. There is a new ATSG/ABX/ATI/CCI thread just about every week.

Too bad Atlas got the Jakarta DHL flying.
