You are cloaking a very simple matter with a lot of BS. To simplify: if the pilots of ASTAR believe that all DHL freight in th US is theirs, then we have an adverserial situation, and you should not look to the ABX group for friendship at the same time you are trying to take the food off of our table. If you believe that both carriers belong in the DHL domestic system, then end the lawsuit. All else is just obfuscation.
