[QUOTE="Boywondr, post: 4550632, member: 77695"] There's no way you can qualify that assertion. DHL invested billions in assets when they bought Airborne and failed for the same reason Amazon may. DHL already owned and brokered fleets of jets that Amazon doesn't even scratch. Amazon's footprint is in the USA whereas DHL's is and was much larger from the start.[ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot_20200712-034430.png"]302038[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" width="596px" alt="Screenshot_20200712-034601.png"]302040[/ATTACH] So let's see what happens with the great training (4 days by their own admission) their drivers receive coupled with their accident history and pressure to do the impossible in the future. Obviously their motto is to saturate the playing field as quickly as they can but in the long run if quantity trumps quality and their workforce gets the unbridled pressure that comes with that environment, without equal compensation, only time will tell. By what I've read, their contractor's safety track record is pretty horrific. If the Spartans had not been sold out by their own people they would have withstood their last onslaught because with the right plan quality and continually honing skills that are proven over multiple decades will solidify UPS's footprint. Common sense must prevail in upcoming contracts because like the Spartans, the greed of a few (that vote) will sell out the bright future of many. That's what will hurt ups more than anything imo.
