This is the same question I posted last night. How many are we talking about? Are folks just speculating that the 300 was the original plan with the DC-8 retirement included, or is the 270 number on top of the 300? I know UPS isn't going to send us an email with the plan, so I guess it is up to the union to find out for us.

Your posts have a nice, even-keel feel to them. My question to you: The above comment - opinion or some inside info? Not looking for names or anything like that. You just seem a lot more confident in your postings than us rambling idiots!
First, thanks. Second-inside info, all fact based. I'm no one special, it is fact. The airline currently flies "pretty well" with only a few lines in the 8 bid package, this flying will pretty easily shift into the "idle" 757s through the system.

I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. Rocket Bob can attest, but where is the money.
In the earnings report.
"earnings fall nearly 56% "
"average daily volume totaled 14.5 million packages, a 3.9% decline"
" Average revenue per piece decreased 6.9%"
So if revenue only falls by 7% on a decrease of 4% packages, how do profits fall by 56%?
