Here is an example of someone who gets it.

BBB, couldn't agree more.

UPS will make this deal happen to expand their business, as they have with many other companies. Sad to say, ABX and Astar are caught in the crosshairs this time.

The wheels were set in motion on this the second ABX and ASTAR got forced into the AMCI buisness. It was only a matter of time before UPS or FedEx swooped in and took over.

Ask the former pilots of ExpressOne, Ryan, Emery, Rhoades, Kitty Hawk, CAT, Express.net, etc.

It was bound to happen. ACMI can't compete. I imagine it's only a matter of time before BAX (The last remaining independent hub operation) feels the heat too.

My condolences to all involved.

Thank you that finally explains it all, we have all been wondering!

Hvy,

OK... I give. What exactly does the anonymous poster suddenly "get"?

Let me guess. By association, now you're accusing UPS of unethical business practices, is that it?

Here's the brutal truth Hvy... YOU CHOSE POORLY. You sought and obtained employment from a company that was not well capitalized or managed. Now you're "shocked" your gamble didn't pay off. A bit disingenuous I'd say.

BBB

BBB, if you do actually work for UPS it would not suprise me if you "chose" UPS like many friends that I know who could not get hired anywhere else 10 to 15 years ago. You make it sound like devine wisdom I say dumb luck! Two that I know of could not even pass an upgrade at a commuter we worked at. So please stop trying to sound like your pilots are better and smarter, I have flown with some of them!

Big Beer Belly = "Rhoid"

You're arguing with a troll.

Sounds like he's done OK for himself at UPS, flying the big iron for big money and all.

Maybe the problem was with your commuter's training dep't?

BBB isn't a pilot at all. He's the same POS that was on the Yahoo financial board harassing the ATSG investors and employees. He's a moron.

I am very uset that I appear to be losing my status as "Rhoid". Maybe a a sixpack of http://www.yuengling.com/ would soften the blow.

 

[fob727]

maybe you are losing your status as rhoid.....but not as a POS

Terry Jacks - Seasons In The Sun

I am relieved and I would therefore like to dedicate the following song to you. This is the DHL USA anthem, sad but true.

Terry Jacks, who had participated in the Beach Boys recording, and who had in fact introduced the song to the group, rewrote part of the lyrics to "lighten them up." Jacks' revisions tended to add a bit of ambiguity as to the nature of the storyteller's demise, allowing listeners the option to choose whether the death is by the execution; from suicide over a failed life - quite possibly to escape drug addiction; or from natural causes.

Seasons In The Sun​

Goodbye to you, my trusted friend.
We've known each other since we're nine or ten.
Together we climbed hills or trees.
Learned of love and ABC's,
skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.
Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die,
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
Pretty girls are everywhere.
When you see them I'll be there.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the hills that we climbed
were just seasons out of time.
Goodbye, Papa, please pray for me,
I was the black sheep of the family.
You tried to teach me right from wrong.
Too much wine and too much song,
wonder how I get along.
Goodbye, Papa, it's hard to die
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
Little children everywhere.
When you see them I'll be there.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the wine and the song,
like the seasons, all have gone.
Goodbye, Michelle, my little one.
You gave me love and helped me find the sun.
And every time that I was down
you would always come around
and get my feet back on the ground.
Goodbye, Michelle, it's hard to die
when all the bird are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
With the flowers ev'rywhere.
I whish that we could both be there.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the stars we could reach
were just starfishs on the beach ​

snappy response, BTB....how long did it take to come up with this? Always part of that 5%, huh? POS!!

Not even close. This one cuts a lot closer to the heart of the matter;

You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp but now you realise
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say "do you want to make a deal?"

I thought ALPA progressed from a "bend-over" organization to a "reach-around" entity? Or,
have they regressed? Possibly, multi-mission
ready due to increased market demand on
increasingly limited resources due to a declining
economy facing scarce availability of streetside
resources?
