Exclamation Like buying a house...

Lil J-
There's more to this TA than the money. UPS has more to offer us, they want us settled for the big postal contract next year and the 100th anniversary, etc. My bet is that they'll be more forthcoming if we vote this down. I don't know if you fly domestic or int'l, but we all know the growth is on the int'l side. For instance, take a look at the postings on the B+G about what a "crossing" is. We fly many legs which won't qualify as a crossing as defined in the TA, but are long flights indeed and certainly the intent should be to include them all. (CGN-DXB comes to mind). Any north to south flying or vice versa would be exempt as well. I feel we need to clarify some things with this TA. UPS wants us settled, I just think we can get a better deal if we vote it down. At least you get a vote, I'm still on probation. Think about buying a house...
