[QUOTE]You have some funny ideas about accounting, all of which you have failed to offer any proof. Ignore my opinion, invoke Enron and carry on, but at the end of the day you are ignoring the fact that these large corporations are audited-so your assertion that no outsider has looked at the books is just false.[QUOTE]
Jungle, I don't need to offer you proof. You don't matter in this. Company books are audited by their company accounting firms. While indeed they may be individual companies, they are protected from public scrutiny.
I will be happy to give them a break when they want to stop making bogus claims and claiming anyone who doesn't support them is kicking sand in their face. Fighting for your job is one thing, getting on a Forum and claiming DHL and UPS are to blame for their woes because of deceptive business practices is another.
We have offered sympathy, understanding and made it known that most of us have an ugly lye burn or six on the back of our right hand. This doesn't mean we will give up logical thought.
A billion dollars of gross revenue is about 2% of UPS' gross, the value of that on the bottom line is largely dependent on any incremental cost incurred to maintain the contract. In addition it is a sure bet that UPS will be utilizing DHL's infrastructure in the markets DHL has a strong position. Net to the pilot group at UPS-not much, but it beats going backwards.
Jungle, we haven't asked anyone to "support" us. What we did expect, was that UPS'ers would have the decency not to publicly salivate over our demise. Several UPS'ers have behaved quite properly about the situation. Which simply is don't act like a jackass. You are one of the ones that haven't.
