Lots of emotion here....and no one on this board had a say in the deal!


IMHO, one of the reasons the UPS-DHL deal evaporated was the continuing severe downturn in the US economy. Volume this month and forecast for future DHL volume, like UPS' and FDX's, fell dramatically.

No one is adding planes for the DHL part of the pie because the entire pie has shrunk.

Don't even get me started on how International freight is way down too.
