757,
I would think that the same factors that caused FDX to open over seas domiciles will be in play for UPS. Or, in other words it will have to be cheaper for UPS to operate a international domicile than not. Hopefully the FDX guys will jump in with what the triggers were that resulted in their HKG / CDG domiciles. Shooting from the hip I would think the two biggest things would be the cost of airline tickets (business class or better?) and hotel standby (room costs plus per diem) in those places.
The thing the IPA will have to be cognizant of is how the LOA is written. Our FDX bro's have walked this path and there some things to go to school on.
Just my two bits.
