I see Amazon as good and bad. Bad you can figure out. Good: It will force UPS to morph, grow, compete and focus on service. You might even see a new business model were we start selling stuff or team up with people like Walmart, Target etc. I'd expect to see us team up with some large chain for a kiosk/section in a every store where you and go and pick up your package like Fedex is going to do with Walgreens. I can see change being faster then we have ever seen. I would not expect UPS to sit by and be overrun. The days of a duopoly are over. However, they are well aware of what is to come and are already talking about it. A example is this qts earning report conf call. The top men at UPS are going to have to be innovative. I think this will cause a evolution/revolution in the management ranks of who is successful/promising in the management ranks. I can tell you one thing. 10 years from now UPS will be far different. On the other side of the street at the Pax carriers they are confronting NAI, ME3, ULCC (dom and internation), outsourcing still to bigger RJ. I'm just not sure who is gonna get their a$$ kicked more. Many changes and unknowns.
