Lets see, didn't Ohio make deals with DHL, were promises not broken, what is being done about that Mr. Governor. All in all very realistic portrayal of Wilmington but a very bad news story on how DHL screwed Ohio, the town of Wilmington, and the U.S. public. So much for a third competitor, lets hope UPS and Fedex don't raise there shipping rates all at once.
I guess I was asking too much of 60 minutes, I remember when people would run and hide from a reporter at 60 Minutes, I guess those days are gone also.............
My thoughts exactly, BH. All fluff - no meat. Just about 15 seconds about DHL's failures in the decision making department. No tough questions, no real digging for the root cause, not a single speck from the mounds of dirt that soil DHL's greedy paws.
Not only no mention of the ABX pilot group but no mention at all of Astar.
