Be careful what you wish for. Fred is learning to buy and drive trucks and once he does you WILL lose flying...there isn't a damned thing your contract or ours does to stop it. Why do you think UPS will see almost 4.5-5.0 billion in NET profit to your what...2.0? It is good "business" to sell a 2 day "air" product that never sees an airplane. Not good "business" for us personally unfortunately. UPS' domestic trucking/rail network is mature...we will only see more flying. Good thing there's plenty of work for both of us. Add to that, if the dems really get all cargo screened we will both see alandfall from the pax ops
