UPS has a long tradition of following FedEx innovations. FedEx following UPS lead? Uhhhhh... not so much.

Ocassionally, very ocassionally, UPS does try something FedEx has declined (can you say pax charters?)

Oh. Sorry. I guess since FedEx has never done that, I couldn't imagine that UPS might even consider it.... :cool:

Isn't it funny how we can badmouth OUR company and that's ok, but just let someone from another airline diss OUR company and we're ready to crawl all over them.

Pax charters! Zap Mail! Nobody's perfect, except Salma Hayek!:D :)

No one meant any disrespect toward Big Brown.

Actually, UPS was not losing money on the PAX Charters. We just felt that the potential liability risk was too great when measured against the small amount of profit we were making. On the other hand, ZAP mail was a real money loser.

I second the Salma Hayek comment.
