Good Afternoon. This is John Starkovich with the ABX INFOline for February 2, 2012.

Safety & Compliance
Last month marked the first edition of the ABX SafetyLine. This Safety publication is another effort being taken by our safety professionals to keep you informed on various safety subjects and initiatives here at ABX. Much of it will focus on the flight side, but it will also be covering subjects of general interest for all of us. It is emailed and is also available via the company-networked computers on the ABXnet Safety page and also at myabx.com/flightweb (click on the Flight Safety button, log in, and click the ABX Air SafetyLine link). Issue 2 for the month of February is already out.

W-2 Distribution
ABX employees at ILN and CVG should have received their W-2s at work. They were mailed to outbased employees on January 30. If you have not received your W-2 by February 15, you should contact the ever helpful Rachel Bernard in Payroll by calling extension 62538 to request a replacement. Please do not call before February 15 as it allows time for the US Postal service to return undeliverable items to us, and we can then resend them to you at any revised addresses.

401k
On January 31, 2012, the Company made its 5% contribution under the Capital Accumulation Plan (CAP) (for non-pilots). This contribution is placed into your 401k account. As a reminder, this is the replacement program for the frozen Retirement Income Plan. Please use www.401k.com if you want to check on the contribution. The amount can be found under “Transaction History”, in the “Sources” tab, and is dated January 31, 2012. Employees have to be full time or part time status and must have worked 1,000 hours in 2011, and employed at ABX as of December 31, 2011. Should you have questions, please contact Dawna Kennedy in HR at extension 62150.

Service
Our on-time service performance for DHL during the 4th quarter stands at 98.52%. For the month of January, subject to verification with DHL, on-time performance looks to be over 99%.

Employee Safety Survey
At the request of senior management, the Safety Department will be conducting an employee survey directed to the pilot group. VP of Flight Bob Gray requested that the Safety department perform the survey because it has been some time since the last one was conducted and there have been many operational changes in the past several years. As ABX moves toward the Safety Management System this year, open and candid input from our employee groups regarding how they perceive our policies, programs and functional areas, is critical to being effective and compliant. Safety will be using the SurveyMonkey system to conduct the survey. It assures anonymity in completing the survey and will regulate that there is only one response per employee. Another survey is under development for the maintenance folks as well. The Safety department is looking for honest responses to each question and thanks you for your cooperation and participation.

Healthy Directions
The ABX Wellness Program and the new Fitbit pedometers continue to be a topic of conversation. The second order of Fitbits is scheduled to arrive tomorrow and will bring the total number of participants to just below 300. This is over 30% of the eligible population. As a reminder, for those who are participating in UnitedHealthcare Health Rewards coaching program, it requires 6 weeks of participation, so you need to start the program no later than mid-February. UHC has recently updated their myuhc.com website, so the directions that we provided in the initial package have changed. Please follow the updated version. If you have any problem logging in or getting started on the coaching program, please contact Dawna Kennedy at extension 62150. Also, keep in mind that in order to qualify for a reduction in your health care contribution, you must meet either meet the Fitbit requirements or the coaching program steps. Everyone is encouraged to participate for the sake of your own health and to save money on your health care expenses.

That is all for this week's INFOline. Thank you for all you do to make ABX a success. Take care.
