That rumor, has been around in various forms since I can remember. Its a good, persistent one, but this time it doesn't pass the sniff test for one big reason. We can't staff the aircraft we have coming for the next year. So what good are more airframes when we can't fill the one's we already bought? My own black helicopter/conspiracy theory is that the company will continue to grow the management ranks (airline within an airline). They are more flexible than we are due to lack of contract coverage. They also allow the company to expand their span of control over us lovely hourly troublemakers, and provide expanded strike coverage should that happen. Flexibility and control are HUGE for UPS. Just my opinion.

ps Who is the subject of the rumor this time?
