I haven't read every post, so forgive me if this repeats an earlier post. Even if, and its a huge if, OOPS buys TNT, there is no way in God's green earth that the IPA will do that flying. UPS has an uncanny knack of being able to shuffle cargo around to prevent our flying it. Witness the latest shuffling of city pairs to get around the latest open skies initiative. Also to be considered is the loss of jobs for the pilots. UPS has a track record of not taking the pilots when they buy a company. The EU will look on that rep with a very hairy eyeball. UPS just invested a HUGE amount of euros on the CGN hub. They don't want to **** off the EU.
