[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 72436, member: 2193"] "..spite of GM, which has nothing to do with us. If Target, which is a B&M business slows, it would stand to reason that catalog/internet sales would be up. Once again, Target has nothing to do with UPS." UPS does not handle any package or logistics business for Target or GM? You better check your facts as UPS handles quite a bit of business for GM and both B2B and B2C from Target. Wal-Mart also down. I never said that the IPA announcement had nothing to do with the share price drop, but it was a small factor when looking at the whole of Wall St. today. Again, how are the "pilots" the "most profitable arm of the company?" What specific action do the pilots do to bring new air business in to UPS? Again, not discounting their role, but they are one group out of many that make UPS successful. Air packages may be more profitable than ground packages but does that mean the pilots are solely responsible for their profit? How did the air packages get to the airport? How did they get from the airport to the customer? How did the pilot sell the Fedex account on switching to UPS? Are feeder drivers solely responsible for the profit on ground packages? What about the vast majority of 2nd day "air" that is shipped onthe ground? What about the Next Day "Air" that is ground fed? "you probably feel all hourly are overpaid, and you are entitled to your opinions. That doesn't make it a fact, though." I don't feel hourly employees are overpaid? Where did I state that? You are making assumptions and you know what they say about assumptions... [/QUOTE]
