[QUOTE="j13501, post: 779151, member: 918"] There is a huge difference between the BOD today and the boards in the 1990s. The biggest factor is the number of "outside directors" that determine the long term vision of the company. In today's world, there are eleven members and only 2- Scott Davis and former CEO, Mike Eskew are UPSers. Prior to our becoming a public company, generally half the board were present or former UPSers. Does anyone really believe that the current BOD understand the UPS "culture" of the past? I believe that they honestly care about doing a good job on the board, but from their "point of view"; what constitutes a good job? Is it a balance of people, service and profitability? Or, are they looking through the eyes of most normal companies, that put profitability first, and everything else second. I believe that if our BOD had more UPSers as board members, we would still be financially successful, but there would be much more concern about not losing the legacy that was left to us by Jim Casey.
