Mmmmhhh...yeah....I've already got my brown shoes out polishing them up. Expecting my phone to ring any minute now.
Well, we've been wearing black shoes for a while now... ;)

I'm sure you've heard it already but I wanted to reemphasize that UPS pilots had nothing to do with the decision DHL took and that we do support you and truly hope that the jobs will not be lost or that you will be able to get preferential interviews at Big Brown…

UPS is looking at the DHL agreement in the same terms they look at the postal contract Fedex and to a much smaller extent UPS got with the US Post Office.

'We fly it in and they (Post Office & DHL) deliver'...

Sorry to hear the news, ABX and Astar guys and girls.

Considering that UPS already has a gigantic worldwide air/ground network, and considering that DHL freight in the U.S. is now going to be carried by UPS, why would anyone ship with DHL anymore anyway? Couldn't they just ship with UPS in the first place and cut out the middle man, or am I missing something?

:confused:
Well, I see your point but do you realize that many times when you send a regular letter at the post office it might be flown by the post office (they still have airplanes, right?), or Fedex, UPS, Delta, Airtran, etc and then delivered by your mailman (or is it mailperson nowadays)??

I too feel very sorry for the Abx and the Astar employees..
