DHL came to UPS for a solution to their massive problems - not the other way around.
To think that DHL is setting conditions for UPS is funny. UPS and FedEx could just let them wither on the vine and die. UPS is in the drivers seat for sure.
The ABX and Astar guys are just hoping that misery will have a little company, but the fact is that just because they are about to be out of a job, doesn't mean UPS pilots will be too. I know they would like to see it, but alas, it isn't true just because they hope it is.
Sorry guys. You made a bad decision to work for an unstable company like Astar or ABX, and as much as you'd like to spread the doom and gloom around, you're just wasting time on a message board that could be better served working on resumes.
