[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 294563, member: 12508"] The latest news that Cheryl posted is that FedEx would receive "a larger presence in Europe" if they were to buy the floundering US unit of DHL. That statement, if true, gives this rumor a lot of credibility, because FedEx hasn't really done all that well in the European market. DHL's US aircraft and sort facilities might be desirable, but having a duplicate air and ground system doesn't really make any sense.There would have to be something extra to sweeten the deal, and a slice of European operations might be it. Most of DHL is also union, and if FedEx bought them it would probably be contingent upon de-certification. When FedEx bought Flying Tigers back in 1989, anyone who wanted to work for FedEx had to leave the IAM. The one group that wouldn't de-certify, the Flying Tigers flight attendants, were quickly done away with when Tigers passenger ops were discontinued. [/QUOTE]
