from UPS Uberto, spokesman -

it's the first time the company had hauled a herd of bovines in the belly of one of its Boeing 747 freighters.

Is this guy related to Baghdad Bob?

Later Uberto mentioned - "There's also a lot of BS involved in this operation"

NOT ... 109 crewmembers on furlough. We could have had the crews for this flight. Like it or not. We are down 50+ crews. Reality sucks ...

As for the cargo, it all pays the same ... unless SCS does the bidding !
