You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
Time to retire. This was one easy peak. Not sure what you think Amazon did to make it worse?

To be the man, you gotta beat the man.
In the 13 I've been with the company it was the easiest. Shows how different each hub can be from one another.

Standing around till 10:00 am waiting on planes that are loaded with Amazon promises. Trouble is, I see UPS's problem. How do you justify spending so much money to prepare for just 2 or 3 weeks of excess volume?

I don't ever remember a peak that air wasn't late on Christmas eve. Amazon or not.
And low profit margine,from Amazon packages.

I agree----we were all looking at each other wondering when we were going to get slammed. It was busy but it could have been much worse.

I thought they were Omaha. Its one of the online food places. The containers are strofoam with plastic shrink wrap. Can't write on them with grease pencils.

With the exception of the late air on Christmas Eve this peak was cake. I think that any center that had a rough time has poor leadership that didn't go with the program this year or maybe just experienced bad weather.
