I with you. Before the hearing in DC, several politicians were quoted as saying that when they met with DHL and UPS officials they were told " that the deal would also, most likley include ground and internation lift to and from NA". I don't have time to surf for it, but I remember reading this and saying to myself that the polictians will not like this since initaly the deal was supposed to be domestic air only. At this point I think DHL has gone further and just decided to enlarge the deal. I also remember reading an article were a DHL official siad they could not just leave NA, since 30% of all packages tough NA in some way shape or form, inports, exports, or just passing throug. Anyway you look at it, it's bad for DHL enployees and not just pilots now. Way to go US Congress. We are going to save your jobs, not, well at least they will loose more right. More is better right!!!!!!
