[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 560414, member: 12508"] I'm suggesting that UPS use similar tactics by threatening to not buy Boeing if Fred gets his way on the RLA. In short, to play the same game that FedEx is playing...in reverse. This would put pressure on politicians to ignore Smith's blackmail attempt and would force Boeing to become neutral instead of beoming a lobbyist for FedEx in order to save aircraft orders. After all, Boeing wouldn't want to piss-off a big customer (UPS) in order to accomodate another customer (FedEx), right? Cantwell and Murray are between a rock and a hard place because Boeing is the top employer in their state. Both may vote for Smith to placate Boeing, which is exactly what Smith wants. [/QUOTE]
