am i the only one that finds it ironic that ups operates an airline within an airline of non-union pilots that do the same thing the union pilots do.

isn't this the crux of the argument that ups is using claiming that fedex drivers are non-union and do the same thing that unionized ups drivers do?

i cannot understand why fred smith hasn't mentioned this little tid bit in his arguments.

We should be making headlines by cutting red ribbons on new facilities and buying more airplanes.
Well said Huck!

You're seriously quoting Scott Davis, Mr. Let me furlough some pilots to pad my big bonus?

Might as well include a few Frank Lorenzo pearls of wisdom too.
