[QUOTE="Coldworld, post: 344137, member: 4777"] If the airport thing is correct, then it wont do them much good to use the post office, since they dont have many of their own planes, and use ups and fedex for cargo space. It wouldnt surprise me if fedex tries this. If this is true, many customers are going to get uneasy with dhl, and maybe a few customers will come back to us, but I dont think it would make too big of difference in volume levels, but maybe a nice small bump....who knows. Hopefully for the teamsters at dhl, they will continue with the metro operations so these folks still have a job...for now. Acouple of years back, there was a few posts about dhl buying airborne and how this would change things up, many on here said that dhl is the ones with the big bankroll and everyone should worry....very true, but they did loose 20% last quarter...just too much going on, exel, dhl, etc, etc. They have talked about spinning off some of their businesses. Personally, I think fedex is the most dangerous, they arent afraid to take a risk and some of them have paid off, people can say whatever they want, they have done amazing for themselves in 40 years, personally I hope the express and groung guys become union, and they have multiple millions in back taxes to pay. I dont want thenm to go out of business, but at least get pushed down the ladder a few steps, give ups a bit more breathing room. [/QUOTE]
