UPS sees FDX/USPS deal as Antitrust
I will not quote your entire reply because it does not make sense to quote 500 words when I am specifically talking about just one item. I will quote the thoughts I disagree with and explain why I disagree with them. The way you reply to me is no different than the way I reply to you. Looks like... -

UPS sees FDX/USPS deal as Antitrust
“…When you have different styles of government, there would be different demands. When the labor groups of a socialized nation places demands on trade to support that, what do we (th public not the corporations) get in return? And yes, that is EXACTLY what was asked for and demanded by the... -

UPS sees FDX/USPS deal as Antitrust
Do you really believe in what you’re saying? So basically they, European workers, were “screaming” because they wanted trade but only if it was in their favor, however we only wanted trade that’s fair to both sides because we are... so much better and honest and like to hug and sing kumbaya... -

Branson speaks of a collapse
Most of the world uses day, month, year format, this article is published in London so the date means 12th day of July 2008, or July 12th 2008 if you so prefer... -

President of UPS Airlines: UPS to hire later this year!!!
I've been following your posts for some time and you seem to confuse me more and more… Do you really enjoy putting DHL pilots down? Your posts are full of sarcasm and I get the feeling that somehow you enjoy our DHL brothers’ and sisters’ misfortune. I just don't get it; do you have any... -

Exactly where did this article specify those 4 airlines? :confused: -

UPS sees FDX/USPS deal as Antitrust
Well, you're simplifying the facts to support your "everyone's out after American jobs" theory. I hate to be defending the Chinese here but bear in mind that their switch to market economy is a fairly new phenomenon (~20 years or so). Here’s the irony - when the last currency crisis hit Asia... -

UPS sees FDX/USPS deal as Antitrust
They do have strong currency. It is being run by our dollar buying all their crap and it hurts us more by them not valuing it as such. Now ask an economist why they want to force the devaluation of their currency which not so coincidentally hurts ours. Damn it, I’ll probably be late for my... -

UPS sees FDX/USPS deal as Antitrust
Shooter, like I said, I want to keep DHL deal out of my explanation because it’s a very sad subject for thousands of people right now and I don’t want to stir up any anger. As a Brown pilot I’m not a fan of this agreement and have clearly stated my reasons here before, you can look up my old... -

Correct, you forgot to factor in the transportation of those cars. US factories will produce for the US market, Mexican factories for the Mexican and central American market... -

UPS sees FDX/USPS deal as Antitrust
That's funny because if you were to discuss this with a bunch of Europeans (born in Europe myself) they'd tell you the exact opposite is true. The Europeans would say that when competing against America they can never win because their costs are so much higher - they’re probably right. Think... -

UPS sees FDX/USPS deal as Antitrust
Hmm, you need to read that article again. VW has been losing money in the US because and not despite of the weak dollar. Think of it this way, they're building the cars in Germany paying salaries in strong (expensive) euros but selling the same cars in the US for weak (cheap) dollars. The... -

UPS sees FDX/USPS deal as Antitrust
I'm gonna exclude DHL from this discussion because that's a different animal in itself but what is your solution? - a Great Wall of America? Or is it all NAFTA's fault? I mean no US jobs left the US prior to NAFTA, right? So if we follow your advice, whatever plan you come up with, will we... -

UPS sees FDX/USPS deal as Antitrust
It's probably the wrong time for me to be discussing this with you because all you ‘yellow’ brothers and sisters are hurting right now and are feeling abandoned. Which you are - by your management. I disagree however with your description of the "new world." Everything you just painted makes... -

And so it begins
I am not sure what your exact question is but I'll try... UPS has been parking 727s, classic 747s and even DC8s (although slowly) for some time. Nothing new, they announced those 'airplane retirements' last year or maybe even earlier, can’t remember. 727s are now all parked; by the end of this... -
