DHL's domestic product has now evaporated. So, presuming that it all went to UPS and FedEx, why is your company not hiring and bringing a/c out of storage? Most analysts say it was essentially a 50/50 split between the big two. As I've said before, UPS' network could take DHL's revenues without a hiccup. He's playing you guys. And you're falling for it hook, line, and sinker.
I suppose that's one way to look at it. I am just reporting what was said at our meeting the other night. You might be right.
I still think YOUR best bet is to try to get on with another carrier because it looks like a dead end job there at ASTAR, unfortunately.
I really wish you the best and I hope it works out for you. Though, I will always have a sour taste in my mouth regarding what ASTAR pilots said about UPS during the famous picket line in Atlanta.
