[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 5648624, member: 14596"] No, they have no leg to stand on crying poor. They do continue to lose market share. The lasting legacy from '97 is the company tried to get a business model that would allow them to return to the position as the best service, lowest cost market leader that they had actually lost prior to '97. The IBT refused to consider that business model. What they wound up with is a model were UPS is profitable, but not competitive. They will continue losing market share in an ever increasing market. When the market plateaus, they will lose volume along with market share loss. That's a decade or maybe more off yet, but it's coming. I certainly can't fault you for getting what you can get prior to that happening. Whether they admit it to themselves or not, that is what the C- suite dwellers have been doing for years. [/QUOTE]
