Is it me, or did this last system bid leave us fat on the captain side? I see about 20 more 75SDF captains than FOs.

Curious as to why it is thought that USPS stopping Sat delivery will affect the the contract. I thought USPS will still have Sat Express and Priority delivery.

It is still a reduction in Saturday service.

Every year Fred and UPS both raise their prices by 4-7% and they ask why the overnight business is dropping off. It seems that people don't get the concept that customers, me included, will not pay 40 dollars to ship a 20 dollar product overnight.

If we don't do it cheaper some third part will and do it more efficiently. If UPS and FEDEX want to continue to enjoy a duopoly in the USA they better start pricing it right.

We better realize, at both places, this is the case as neither place is going to place a package on an aircraft unless it is the only option to meet service and it is at the right profit margin. New world folks, get used to it.
