Another question I have is; What are the chances UPS could take over the entire sort in Wilmington and fly UPS airplanes in and out of Wilmington for a combined DHL/UPS sort? UPS could then shut down one of their other regional sorts, either PHL or RFD and at the same time save thousands of jobs. Politicians would be happy, DHL would be happy, UPS would be happy and most of the Wilmington ground employees would be happy too except Astar and ABX Air pilots who would lose out big time. Personally I think a better option for UPS/DHL might be to establish a sort in CVG since it is closer to Louisville and more people to hire from in that area. CVG would also be a great reliever airport for Louisville.
