IMO, times will go back to where they have been if UPS has their normal bids in the future.
Always the optimist. Hard to say what "normal" is. When was the last time that we had normal? It's been interrupted by some pretty major one time events like the grounding of the DC8 and 727 and age 65. Those things have worked themselves out now, we are approaching the peak retirement years, and we have metal on order. I had a friend show me the math where more than half of us leave within 10 years. I'll go under ten on future upgrades.
