DP really has no choice but to stay in the US market, kind of like opening up a barber shop but only offering 1 type of haircut. If they are going to remain the largest freight forwarder in the world you have to provide service to the whole world! Their customers outside the US demand service to and from the US. So even if the US does not make money here it provides huge profits elsewhere. It really is the only reason DP came to the US in first place.

Hey SamFoxPilot -
Noticed you are a SWA Poolie...congrats!
Just wondering what your SWA sources are saying regarding how the recent Age 65 legislation is going to affect hiring/progression at SWA?
Thanks for serving and good luck at SWA.
I have a lot of buddies flying over there --- great company!

The point of the article is that DHL is so screwed up in the US, they should contract out the delivery of US shipments to operators that have proven that they can do the job, UPS or FedEx.

And the point of this business is to provide your own service so you can control the product you are selling.Otherwise FDX could use UPS too it sure would cut alot of costs for them exp. aircraft, pilots, maint. etc.It is going to take time. FDX lost hundreds of millions when it first started its international expansion a few years ago I wonder if they where told to just pull the plug and forget it?
