Dasburg knew all along

[Jetglow]

You have a very good point Penguin....one that our employee group should ask JD....

I know he has been a contributor to John McCain since the beggining.

On the other hand....Astar's other owner is a Die Hard Democrat and Senator Diane Fienstien's husband.

I looked for any political contributions on the behalf of Joe Hete, but cant find them anywhere.

I'm guessing that Joe has to show up at a town hall meeting and try to get face time with McCain when Dasburg can simply pick up the "BAT" phone and call him.

Do I trust Dasburg? Yea...About as much as you trust Hete.

This is going nowhere because the powers that be are making the assumption that DHL wants to compete for the US market, wants to remain a viable entitiy here, not just seeking a way out of business gracefully.
Tell me how you compel someone to stay in business that does not want to be.
Tell me how you get someone to throw money down a black hole to maintain social responsibility.
Tell me how you compel a company to maintain an air force when others have gone out of business all the time without Congress being involved.
Tell me how you win?????

If the UPS/DHL deal gets stopped by some miracle.....it will not prevent DHL from pulling out of Wilmington and going back to CVG. Legalities are one thing and a moral obligation is another.

DHL (Deutsche Post) is a POS and they do not care about Moral obligations....

I cant say that DHL is actually losing as much money in the USA as they say thay are. They have a history of fixing books since way before the Germans bought them. I do know that 40% of DHL's international freight is generated as a result of its US occupation..

My plan is to help the screwed...screw Deutsche post...rather than help Deutsche Post screw me.

Please tell me?

Luftansa's Jurgen Weber is on Deutsche Post's board pulling the Appel/DHL US strings.

Luftansa and Deutsche Post have had corruption scandal recently.....such as spying on journalists who find the truth..

Both Luftansa and Deutsche post are "State Owned"

And dont forget Deutsche Post's Klaus Zumwinkel recently stepped down as a result of Tax evasion charges.

We are dealing with scumbag Germans who are now trying to manipulate the American economy and American workers for higher profit.

At its meeting in Bonn today, the Supervisory Board of Deutsche Post AG accepted the decision of Klaus Zumwinkel (64) to resign from his office as Chief Executive Officer of Deutsche Post AG. Jürgen Weber, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, congratulates Frank Appel

Excellent point made here. DPWN made somewhere near $6 billion last year. I had heard it was closer to 50% of it's international freight touches the US, but even if you use 40% thats $2.4 billion as a result of the US operation. That is why I say call their bluff when they say they may leave the US market. I think they know they need it.

Does the UPS/DHL deal cover freight to/from the USA, or only just within, or both?

So you suggest everyone in the whole town of Wilmington just roll over and take it. Yep what a great idea. Eddie Murphy already did a skit to describe how that would go....let's see here....

Ralph Kramden leanin' out the window there one day sayin'

"Norton! Norton, pal! Come on down! I want to show you something.
HEH HEH"

"Hey Ralphie boy, what do you say there, pal of mine?"

"You know Norton, I've been watchin' you.
And I know you've been watchin' me, Norton.
You're watchin'. I know."

"So Ralph, what are you gettin' at?"

"Norton my friend, how would you like to **** me up the ***?
I know you want to **** me, Norton!
And you know that I know that you know that I know
that you want to **** me.
Now I'm gonna bend over. And when I do, start ******'!
Here I go!"

"Whoooooooooah!
Hummuna-hummunah-hummunah-hummunah-hummunah-hummunah-hu..."

"Way to go there, Ralphie boy!"

Pub, I can't believe I'm even gonna respond because you seem to indicate at all turns how we should simply just go quietly into the night...but, what the heck....

1. You can't compel someone to stay in business that doesn't want to be. You CAN force a company that is making and worth a buttload of money to honor their contractual and verbal agreements made to the State of Ohio and employees whom they have contracts with. The main problem on that front with DHL is that they tend to believ they are totally above having to honor the agreements they make...with any entity. They can do whatever they want, but till they run out of money, they can by-God pay for promises they made that other people helped finance...(Ohio Tax Payers and Pilot dropping lawsuits in return for growth).

2. I don't think you can get DHL to continue to throw money down a black hole. I think you can convince DHL, that they have a choice,...either throw money where they've been throwing it, but come up with a better plan to compete and thus make good on their commitments. OR, pay money to those who were co-investors in their debacle. It's not a matter of whether or not DHL's gonna continue to pi$$ away money, it's just a matter of how much and who it'll go to. We are simply trying to compel DHL to realign their direction of fire of pi$$ing it away into OUR bucket.

3. I don't care if they keep an airforce. 4. Due to fraudulent inducement damages and and being one of 525 who were third party beneficiaries of their deal with AStar through 2019....they pay off my house....plus maybe a little beer money. THAT's how I win....and you'll never hear from me again.
