[QUOTE="PobreCarlos, post: 748402, member: 16651"] FracusBrown; I'd like you to show me some figures demonstrating just how rapidly the company was growing in the twenty years - a FULL twenty years! - following 1975 ground linkage. Don't remember a quarter where the company REGRESSED, do ya'? Or think that the mid-to-late eighties were a period of rapid growth? Sorry, but in comparison to the period prior to the overseas expansion - and, outside of air and international, well after that (until the aforementioned IPO buy-out) - I don't recall there being anything percentage-wise like the growth the company experienced in the late 60's thru the seventies and early eighties, particularly in terms of management opportunities. If you recall, in the period of twenty years ago and thereabouts, UPS was already receiving some pretty stiff competition. FedEx was in the express business, FedEx Ground (or it's RPL predecessor - which, by the way, DID offer some "poaching" opportunities to UPS management), and Airborne were all in play. As, for that matter, for those who might have forgotten, were companies like Purolater domestically. Anyway, perhaps you can demonstrate differently. If you could, I'd sure like to see some figures.
