Brown and Jungle,

I don't work for DHL. If I were these guys I would do what I could to keep my job, even if that includes picketing UPS. It is a tough job market out there.... I agree that their cause is most likely a lost one, but it is worth a try while you get your resumes out to whoever is accepting them these days. I am not sure why their actions bother you...

It really isn't necessary to kick sand in these guys faces. Just chill out and be gracious, you will get their packages in the end anyway. I don't think this will be a huge job gainer for you guys though. UPS will truck anything humanly possible. We have all seen planes leaving less than full lately and DHL freight will just fill up the half full aircraft. There will be some jobs created for sure, just not what you are probably thinking. Some have compared this deal to Fedex's postal contract due to the size of the contract, but that actually opened up a large bank of day flying for us that needed additional pilots to fill.

How about just giving these guys a break?
