When I did my interview with UPS last year, my research came up with UPS carrying almost 50% of the cargo market inside the U.S. FedEx came in at 25%, and the other 25% carried by your local operators, ASTAR, etc.

I think there comes a point where a company can get too big for its own good but I don't believe UPS is there yet or will be in the near future. Something drastic would have to happen like China cashing in all the T-bills they own and causing the U.S. economy to tank. THAT would cause a ripple or two.

On another note, while wandering around the UPS ready room last night, the only buttons I saw attached to the shirt lapels of fellow crew members were Vote No buttons. Did not see any vote yes buttons. The final tally will be interesting.
