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:
