I've been forced out the door 3 times in 5 years, so, yes I get it as well. But, this post rubbed me the wrong way. I can't change anything that UPS does, but all I can do is put my tongue back in my mouth "because it is dragging on the ground." Do I take offense to that statement? You bet I do.

I guess that I'm the only one that feels this way, but hey, it's not the first time. I'm not trying to start a fight here, but I just had to address this issue. I wish all the ABX/ASTAR pilots good luck. Even you, penguin.

P.S. : If this was truly humor, I apologize for creating a hornet's nest. It just struck a nerve, and maybe it's that time of month for me. <g>
