I don't get a kick out of others losing their job. Even if it's a job not worth having.

I thought the media announced SWA and UAL decided not to carry the USPS mail - hence, that's why UPS is picking up their slack..........

Furloughs?? nope

United lost the contract because of being late too many times.

Without their trucks theirairline would fold....and with 1/2 the planes and pilots FDX has they can't handle the mail....that is why they were given saturdays only...nice uniform color though!

They aren't my trucks or my planes, as I'm just an outside observer. Now, if you would address the corporate profit disparity. You make FedEx sound so superior to UPS. Why do they make four time the profit that you do? Could it be that YOU have too many planes and not enough trucks?

UPS is a trucking company with aircraft.
Fedex is an airline with trucks.
Different animals.

They're sinking hundreds of millions into the trucking side of the business. Looking at the overall revenue numbers I'd guess that they're on the right track.
