Astar buying Polar

[GoABX]

The BS Litmus test failed when he said we'd buy 72s.

It wouldn't make economic sense to take them if they were free.

That's for sure! It would make about as much sense as keeping those DC9s and that out dated container system around. Of course we are dealing with DHL.

Nor would it wouldn't make economic sense to abandon an operating hub for a 300 million dollar operating hub, then leave that one to operate out of Wilmington, Oh with no airline service for speed-packing, no decent highway access, toothless felons for ground support ...then break a union contract and contract flying out to a Mix-use container airline.

Uh Oh!!

Is it just me or do these Astar guys seem a little "twitchy" lately

 

[UM#1]

just keep your eyes on the local news headlines this week...in fact make it the next 2 months.....let the games begin....

If the Astar guys are going to Press to Test, then they have 5 weeks to get it done. If they don't that is fine, but don't sqwawk if your contract takes another few years to get hammered out. You can't blame management; after all if you could delay a price increase, wouldn't you do the same thing?

 

[GoABX]

Sounds like you guys are 'tired' of not having a contract. It's a little old school but should work. A letter to DHL in the USAToday would have been a little more direct. I guess I will carry a full suitcase on the last day of my blocks in December.

At least the realtor is happy...

Dasburg must be confident enough in the future to upgrade his digs...


In the Miami paper a month ago or so..

Bought a new place for $8-9 million I think...?
