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.
At UPS (and 99% of aviation for that matter), if management's mouth is moving, they're playing you. Upper management is trying to leverage everything they can fear-wise to exact gains in productivity, and lower management is just kicking the junior line guys because they themselves may get cut.
