DAy Dreamer, your not married to Angel Orange by any chance, what a load of manure.
You must have read the IPF agreemant by now and the letter thay are sending out to all DHL pilots. Even the IPF don't see this as a long term relationship and will be quite happy to step down, but try and cling on for a year when the force of opinion is against them. I like the second to last clause in the agreement, the bit that says this will not be legally binding, doesn't that mean that the company will do what they want when they want to whom they want and bu%^er the rest.
