The billions they wasted on the Airborne disaster, the Wilmington move, the firing of their loyal and long term courier employees, the abandonment of their 300 million dollar computerized sort facility in CVG (since reopened), their 120 million dollar purchase of Astar Air Cargo (now down to 8 - 40+ year old DC-8's), and the courtship of their competitor, UPS to take over their domestic air deliveries are but a few of the bonehead moves that have propelled the once proud DHL brand from the gold standard priority delivery service from the 1970's to the has-been joke of the 21st century.
