I may be off here, but I thought that it was 12 months (see Menlo) and that was only in the event of merger, acquisition, or purchase. For the 24 I saw mentioned I think that they are going to have to come to us for some help (read: midterm negotiation)

I remember the company asking for 24 months, but I can't believe that in this climate of them trampling the contract at will, we would have given it to them without anything in return. Stay tuned on this one (I hope)
TH1 “Second, because of the magnitude of the volume increase, a transition plan of approximately two years will be necessary. This will entail the reactivation of retired brown tail DC-8s, subject to FAA approval, along with a combination of wet leasing, dry leasing, and new aircraft acquisitions. At the end of this transition period, all of the flying would permanently become ours. We will see and review the transition plan to ensure that it complies with existing scope clause parameters,” explained Miller |

You are correct sir! Also, the company has 24 months AFTER the deal is signed. Nothing prevents the company from outsourcing all this volume for 23months all the while figuring out how to minimize the air volume. Especially in these days of huge fuel costs. Do not forget that UPS is in the top 5 companies in number of railcars owned. Right now, we have a lot of volume that is not "air" that moves by air. This company excels at cost analysis. They'll figure out a way to keep the vast majority of this volume away from the IPA. If we get 20 DC8 equivalents out of this "mega" deal, I'll be amazed. Kinda a glum outlook, but to them its just bidness.

I was in the training center last week and I saw them stocking the vending machines with Depends!
Question: What does the cockpit smell like after two 60+ year olds get done flying it? Depends.... That is the funniest post ever! |

Ain't that just rich. Contract our flying to us that has been contracted out to you. :rolleyes::rolleyes:
I simply speculated on how UPS may transition this flying from DHL... Many of us think that it'll be contracted out for quite some time, that's why I mentioned Astar and ABX... It'd be very ironic and in a way cruel but no one really knows how it'll all play out. My apologies to any Astar/ABX employee if my speculation upset you - that was not my intention... |
