Interesting quote. The Big elephant in the room no one talks about. This could lead to a deeper relationship in which DHL starts doing the "lift" in Europe/or Asia. Remember, the Labor laws stop at the border.

Or if the glass is half-full, it could mean the IPA pilots doing the flying for DHL in Europe/Asia.
When talking about this deal, this is the one area that I have said over and over again that the "devil will be in the details". I hope that it doesn't rear it's ugly head, but it will be interesting to see what the final contract brings.
