It is with regret that we have to inform you that negotiations with DHL have indeed taken a turn for the worse. Globe Cargo was informed early this morning of DHL's intention to cancel the contract with us. This is effective October 31st. After this date our aircraft committed to DHL will be removed from service and returned to the leasing company.
After intense negotiating with DHL, Globe Cargo has been unsuccessful in obtaining a renewed contract. In the event negotiations continue to fail, don't expect to see DHL continuing to be a part of Globe Cargo beyond the end of next month.
We have implemented a new feature that will make it easier for us to publish news about Globe Cargo on this page. This should help us keep the front page updated more frequently and encourage our pilots to visit this section on a regular basis.
Globe Cargo is pleased to announce the promotion of Bozhan Özsoy to Events Coordinator. Bozhan will bring to GC an active events department with the first fly-in already planned. Go to the Globe Cargo Events forum for details of our first event to be held on Nov. 30th from CYYZ to KBOS.
Bozhan may be reached at events@globecargova.org.
Beginning in January 2009 our Hall of Fame program will return. The HOF program is intended to recognize members who have demonstrated through PIREPs that they take flying for GC to the next level.
There will be some changes to the program. Eligible pilots must be a member of GC for at least 6 months. Additionally, the eligible pilot must have at least 3 pireps submitted within the previous 3 months.
There will be a HOF inductee every quarter (4x per year). The winner will receive a golden wings image (left) on the roster, a certificate to hang on the wall, and will be asked to provide some words to be published on the forum and/or newsletter as well as a picture if at all possible.
The first period will begin January 2009 with the first induction occuring early in April.
