Who is UPS going to buy?
The talk is that UPS is going to purchase someone this year. This is what I'm hearing. The Airline has over 200 pilots that are now over 60 years old as FE's. Once a New Contract is signed, most if not all will quit. Second, there is close to 100 pilots retiring this year alone. Third, UPS has around 10 Firm aircraft deliveries this year. This does not include the 6 MD-11's and 2 747-400 announced last month. Also the New 747-400's will be on property early next year. Forth, the Menlo flying is coming this July. With 727 and DC-8's coming back from the desert.
And to top it off, UPS is hiring at a rate of 7 new hires a month so far this year. While FDX is Hiring 70 a month. The math is way, way out of whack. 300 retirements, a new more restrictive contract with regard to Scheduling. And Aircraft deliveries.
My guess is World.
