I agree with an earlier post, DHL will probably revert to their former pre-ABX operation, and have contractors fly their stuff in from Europe. If all this is true, then there is no need for a $1 billion/yr contract with UPS.
I edited that post to explain what I meant by DHL's "stuff."

I believe that DHL will contract with UPS to fly their stuff in from Europe, sort it in Louisville, and deliver it too possibly.

I don't know if I as a UPS pilot will sleep better tonight now knowing that the scope of the DHL deal is much bigger than first thought, but I am fairly certain that the scope of the deal is much bigger indeed.
