Money not cat II or C containers

Repectfully, I believe you are all missing the key point!
In the end, DHL like all businesses will be forced to deal with the reality that cost vs. revenue is ALL that matters.
It will come down to which ever company is of more VALUE to DHL.
The company that makes more money for the parent will survive, the other will be cast aside. DHL can not afford, in the long term, to operate two airlines with repetative costs, there is too much duplication of effort.
The ablity to fly cat II or III approaches or have "standard" A containers (if there is such a thing) will be overshadowed by the bottom line.
On time performance, the ability to keep customers and gain new ones, and cost control are the ONLY things that will matter.
I seriously doubt there will be a need for senority integration, to be frank, one group will survive and one will not!
