There were no airplanes to go with the deal because challenge leased their 75's and didn't own them. If ups had bought everything that challenge had, they would have routes and pilots and STILL NO airplanes. The IPA was not involved or consulted by ups in the challenge route acquisition, in spite of what you may think. We (IPA) are not consulted before ups makes a move; we find out what they do when we open the newspaper just like the rest of the public.
