But we're getting all sorts of free advertising, kind of, by not advertising. How many times have you heard it mentioned on the news or in print that FedEx is not advertising during the Super Bowl?

UPS tried really hard to get that contract from you guys the last time around because UPS mgt wanted to hurt FDX. One of our execs said exactly that to a new hire class of pilots.
I have to agree. I think the shippers without any customers are probably the most stable shippers. Only problem is they don't pay very much for very long.
