Good for us, but an IPA pilot didn't need the DHL contract to have a job. ....
I'm not sure that statement is as true as you or I would like to believe that it is. We had a briefing from the airline pres. in CGN a week or so back and he pretty much laid it on the line for us. Without this deal we were heading for some very unpleasant news. Don't forget that these guys react and their reactions don't always meet the situation. They are experts at making the square peg fit the round hole. They will cut off their nose to spite their faces. In the end it all works out for them.
