Air Cargo Carriers, LLC has announced the signing of a
Flow-Through Program with Wilmington, Ohio-based airline ABX Air,
Inc. The program will assist crewmembers at Air Cargo Carriers in
progressing their careers by joining a world-class operator of
Boeing 767-200 and 300 freighter aircraft.
Under the program, Air Cargo Carriers crewmembers who serve as
Pilot in Command for a minimum of two years, obtain 1,000 hours of
Pilot in Command flight experience, and obtain their Airline
Transport Pilot license can bypass the interview process and obtain
a training class opportunity at ABX Air, contingent on their
passing the required background checks.
The two airlines share a similar customer base and operate out
of similar airports, including the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky
International Airport (CVG).
"I am confident that Air Cargo Carriers’ flight training and
line operations will assist pilots in becoming better aviators in
decision making and physical abilities," said Air Cargo Carriers
Chief Pilot Luke McGrath. "By providing this advanced knowledge
early on in a pilot’s career and combining it with the experiences
provided by ABX Air upon the completion of the program
requirements, there is no doubt that these individuals will lead
successful careers in this rapidly evolving industry."
"ABX Air is pleased to partner with Air Cargo Carriers on this
program," said ABX Air Vice President of Flight Operations John
Maloney, "and we are looking forward to working together to recruit
the best available pilots and give them the opportunity for a long,
rewarding career in aviation."
"We are very excited about the Flow-Through Program and what it
will offer everyone involved," said Air Cargo Carriers President
Steve Altnau. "As time progresses, we will continue to evaluate new
and creative ways to improve this partnership and certainly strive
to maintain an industry leading agreement that will attract quality
aviators."
