I just read a news article that DHL is outsourcing US ops to UPS. Wilmington, Ohio is expecting a large number of layoffs. More news is to come in the next day or so, according to the article. What will this mean, if it occurs, to our DHL ops in the US?

Now CNN is saying they're going to cut 9500 jobs.
Is UPS going to pick those people up? Its a real shame if they don't.
Damn this economy...

"If" this goes official, not sure what this will do for us here. I do know we have two options of course, one, we keep flying just like we have, two, we shut down to model the real world. I do know we have always tried to stay kind of close to reality here at GCVA. Not sure if we'll stay that close or not. Oh, by the way, Alan, you need to turn in your keys, its really nothing, actually I think someone is just changing locks or something like that...
