satisfaction that results from their diversity. We are committed to the
philosophy, principle, and practice of Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO). ABX
Air is committed to proactively ensuring that all decisions related to

status, pregnancy, sexual orientation, disability, or any other protected
classes mandated by federal, state or local laws.
The Vice President of Human Resources and Corporate Services is ABX Air’s EEO
