Another thread on a sensitive subject.

How about we all ( except for the usual suspects ) try to keep this one civil for a change.

We all know that DHL is all but surrendering it's domestic ground position and is severely curtailing it's domestic biz within it's international accounts here in N. America. That lost business has to go somewhere . UPS (and I'm sure FDX) can smell blood in the water and they are going after it. Will our side try to use this as an example of anti-trust? Of coarse. While I personally feel we have a good case for A-T (I am a little bias ) if a deal is signed, I don't think this latest development will help us further that case. It's pretty much public knowledge that that DHL is surrendering that segment of it's biz. It's only natural that the two remaining competitors will go after the customers.

As for the deal being dead, it could be. But then again maybe not. No one knows for sure except the principles. We all have our reasons for thinking one way or another. So let's all try to be a little fracking civil about it.
