DHL shrink to profitability

[Airbus300]

I guess you are right. It was just painful to watch, though. I hope no one got hurt. Saw an ambulance on the ramp, but I guess that is a regular occurance.

No wonder John Dasburg never comes to see us in Wilmington. He came up here one time, looked around for a couple of hours, left, and hasn't been seen since.

Analysts are predicting..........

Those options, says analyst Ed Wolfe of Bear Sterns, include closing 85 small ground and air terminals -- as much as 25 percent of its U.S. capacity.
Details of the DHL restructuring plan are expected to be released within a week.

Who is this guy and when did he take Appel's position?

Home is even better...

Who is this guy and when did he take Appel's position?

That's the name of the reporter Shooter.

That's the name of the reporter Shooter.

Unh Hvy, I think Shooter was being a bit sarcastic, since the guys comments appear to be in contradiction to the overview comments in the DP annual report.

Alright, how many of you other poor suckers got to enjoy ILN this weekend?

 

[Chubaka]

How on earth is it possible to lose that much money. That's more than the GDP of South America and Africa combined. I bet Zumwinkle has it squirrelled away in a Swiss bank account.

14" total snowfall. It was glorious.

 

[Chubaka]

Hey, didn't John Holmes have 14".

Considering the state of the roads (especially those off the main drag) you have to give full credit to the ramp workers who did show up. Just think what could be achieved on a daily basis if management treated them like valuable and necessary employees instead of an expendable commodity to be endlessly dicked around. They really do need to go union. A Wilmington weekend in the snow? Just like an ABX Christmas: Priceless.

I'm still digging out. Talk about a cluster ****!

 

[ABXbooger]

for those of you who haven't had a good laugh in a while, you must check out the yahoo finance board for ABXA...as Newman would say, HIIIIILLLLAAAARRRIOUS!!

 

[ABXbooger]

Oh, that stuff melted fast, huh. Amazing transformation from Friday night/ saturday morn.

I guess it was ok to be optimistic about running a sort Saturday morning, but at 3:30 am while facing zero zero conditions riding in the crew van...that is when I would have pulled the plug on the operation. It was bad, icey, lots of snow drifts, and no freight at all being delivered to the airplanes. 6 am departures finally departed around 2p.m. The drive to the airport was also very bad....the snow plows didn't even bother plowing hwy 73.



Tough call but Federal and UPS ran their sorts and had the same amount of delays. I guess you do not want to be the only one to cancel!

UPS' average delay during the storm was just 1:40.

 

[Huck]

I sat in the chocks for 6 hours in MEM......

So we the Dutch/Germans finally going home, about time.
