{UPS FUEL SURCHARGE}
UPS has announced it will raise its fuel surcharge on air services
to 12.5% next month due to rising jet-fuel prices. The increase
begins October 3 and will apply to Next Day Air, 2nd Day Air,
3 Day Select and U.S. International air services. The surcharge
on UPS ground services, tied to diesel-fuel prices, remains at
3%. UPS Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Marketing
Kurt Kuehn says, "We've done a good job of leveraging our integrated
network to obtain fuel savings and that's what enables us even
now to keep our air surcharge cap below our major competitors."

UPS's fares are not set by the LCCs.

Oh yeah, JetBlue is getting into the cargo business. . ..

Maybe "MorgueBlue" or "JetMorgue"?

"The yield on transporting human remains -- I want to be sensitive when I say this -- is definitely worth our while," says Dale Anderson, director of mail and cargo for JetBlue. "I have to move close to 1,000 pounds of general cargo to equal the revenue of one human remain."

He11 of a business plan!

The really slick part is they just strap the corpses into an open seat. . . . .It keeps the belly clear for more freight.

I heard the pilots get a little p/o'd though when the back of the plane is full and they use the jumpseat . . . .

UPS has most if not all of the former AA Cargo 747s!
