Do not forget that UPS is in the top 5 companies in number of railcars owned. Right now, we have a lot of volume that is not "air" that moves by air. This company excels at cost analysis. They'll figure out a way to keep the vast majority of this volume away from the IPA. If we get 20 DC8 equivalents out of this "mega" deal, I'll be amazed. Kinda a glum outlook, but to them its just bidness.

One more question. If ups fails to transfer the flying to us after 24 months is there a cash out for ipa pilots like we had during the menlo fiasco if so i hope it's big because this is huge compare to menlo.
