Emery Worldwide Airlines, however, was shut down several years prior to UPS purchasing Menlo (it was all contractors).

I'm sure that went a long way with the government.
All too familar, I was flying for a contractor, trying to save what was left of Emory, you know a bunch of rampers and other great people in DAY; CAT, and when they got bought by MENLO, a friend asked me; "What can Brown do for you?" I said take my f#$king job!!!!". Awesome, huh? I was making 100k a year flying a B727 Capt, 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off. Thanks alot, I could barely feel the first couple of inches.
