As mentioned above, part of the difference is that this is not the 90's when people turned down UPS and FedEx before their contracts expanded. The landscape has changed substantially and the assumptions are not the same in these equations.
Many pilots who can easily be hired elsewhere were holding out in hopes that the situation would improve because of the positive aspects of the job. This place had huge potential. This management team, however, is making one wrong move after another and may even be intentionally trying to bankrupt the company....much like they did 7yrs ago.
FedEx, interestingly enough, beat UPS and bought TNT extending their goal presence. Both carriers continue to expand, mean while DHL (the global powerhouse) continues to loose market share each month using their old tactics......even if you don't have knowledge of the tactics or strategy employed by these companies, the results are simple.
These guys will either adapt or fade away with the past and another company will expand to fill the vacuum left behind.
