[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 1244257, member: 7966"] I understand it is therapeutic to get all emotional and release anger and frustrations. I do it too but at some point, you have to get back to reality and the business at hand. The people who you feel should be held accountable are the ones that approved the plans and they are very good at spinning things so the blame never gets put on them. So realistically, forget that. The people who are so vociferous about the "UPS fail" are not the decision makers deciding whether UPS will be getting the volume or not. For the most part, they are the "National Enquirer" media (pretty much all of the media I guess) and the consignees. Consignees almost never are the decision makers but if some did select UPS NDA, hopefully they got their packages. The real decision makers will look at UPS and make them the scapegoat but will in the safe enclosure of their meeting rooms, acknowledge that UPS did a very good job (much better than FedEx) and go about their business until next peak. One thing is for sure, they will not float the option of paying UPS or other carriers the extra money to invest in capacity to handle their peak 4 or 5 days of volume and in particularly, the last 3 days before Christmas in 2014. UPS will continue to get the bad press and Amazon can have plausible deniability and the wheel keeps on turning. Just as the Teamsters will not accept any blame either during contract negotiations. It will be the same as always, UPS will take the blame and until next contract negotiation time. Same old, Same old. [/QUOTE]
