The talks are for UPS to deliver DHL's international freight in the USA. The previous quote is correct, he just didn't spell it out for you. You knew what he meant.

I'm just trying to figure out why there has been so few furloughs at Astar/ABX? For a company in dire straits and losing there only customer as Astar is, why only about 5% announced so far.

One would think they would have announced 500 or so pilot layoffs. There must be 1000+ between the two airlines.

Maybe they will get the smaller contract.
