First, I think FDX does not want the bad press of a furlough. We are still making tons of money. We are trying to get DHL customers. We won't unless UPS blinks first. Imagine the ad campaign launched on us by UPS to get customers if we annouce furlough.
We're still making money people.
magic rat,
Excellent!. What I underlined is exactly what I have said to fellow UPS drivers. The marketing folks are salivating at both camps for the other to even breath the word 'furlough'. A boon to the other. I do love our overnight/logistics detente. <g> One reason I think think ALPA/IPA could actually strategically coordinate some leverage with each other during our next CBA negotiations.
Good for all of us.
