This mail to UPS is for Saturday only, and only 100 mil. The FDX contract is 1.3 Billion. UPS will definatly be competitve for the next bid. but so are we.

If we lost part of the mail, (which we have stopped hiring for, Our 300 a year is retirements and international expansion), we would probably lose a corresponding amount of domestic day flying, but that would free up our planes for the stuff we wet lease for now and allow us to quicken the pacific growth.


Losing the postal contract would hasten the retirement of your 727s,
