Another culprit is the protectionist and antiquated airline ownership laws in the United States that prevented DHL from entering the US market on a level playing field with FedEx and UPS. DHL can be blamed for it`s poor execution of a flawed business plan , but shouldn`t be held accountable for the results of a flawed and biased system. Operating a fleet of inefficient DC-9F`s with highly paid pilots up against the likes of Fred Smith and his Republican croonies , USPS and UPS was bound for failure , when the field is tilted overtly in their favour. My condolences to the victims in this sad episode , but blame should be more accurately directed. Dragging up historical references to the fuhrer only makes your argument appear vindictive and prejudicial to say the least.
