If I never saw "O" before, and got a look at the equipment and facilities, I'd say that Brown threw out a life raft. Otherwise I don't think this ship would have gone another few years. Just look at the stock before the buyout. All the other carriers were gaining in shares and price and ours dropping like a fast potatoe. Now on a different note, I also believe this is exactly what UPS wanted. A carrier who owned most of their properties and equipment, regardless of condition. Who's workforce had seen many labor issues, including strikes and still hung in there. If you think about it, they made out like bandits in property alone. Nevermind getting a weather tested, loyal workforce who is grateful to have this opporntunity. What ever the future may bring, I like my new ship. :party-smiley-017:Johnnybegood said:Where did it sink....I think we got a brand new paint job and we are steaming towards the sunset.....

Having been with "O" for a while, I have seen this company go slowly year after year down the drain. It pained me because I also saw my future go with it. I have been with a few carriers before both union and non-union that disappeared. Finally I know that I have a secure future. Also having worked for Brown many moons ago, I know that lack of professionalism will not be tolerated. The new slogan, "Best of the Best" will not be tarnished by anyone. This is what this carrier does. Believe me, it may take a little bit, but we will most certainly be. :d6625240:Skeeter said:I'm sure glad you finally like something.
