it's easy to say that on a forum but you're human like everyone else
i don't know how much you've studied history, but honesty is almost always the worst policy and hypocrisy the best by far
At What Point....?

When they come to the realization, that no matter how much they pay....
the skinny pants millennial generation, is not the future of physical labor ?
"Hence the need" for automated Hubs.
Isn't that being addressed ?

Excellent point on the "they" vs "we".
No matter how much I try to resist the Company's hypnosis, I too occasionally fall victim.
As far as your assertion that the "millennial generation" and their work ethic, or lack thereof, is responsible for the race to automate, I can't agree.
Like most everything else, this is being driven by perceived savings in cost and liabilities.
Was there ever a generation that could match these expectations?
I just saw my hours of service extended from 60 to 70 hours a week?
There's a difference between being "addressed" and being "resolved".
....I am more interested in the later.

Had one customer ask if the problems in Louisville would affect their shipments. Another was absolutely livid that their NDA paychecks didn't come today. Oh and the paycheck people ship with us.
Keep up the good work Atlanta.

Didn't effect those with direct deposit, but those with live checks (the helpers), weren't happy.

Not...
UPS doesn't give a 
because where exactly are the customers going to go? FedEx? USPS? C'mon.....let's be honest. The delivery industry is basically a combined monopoly. A few companies have a strangle hold on the market. It's like cable companies and isp companies.
Sure UPS wants their image to look good. Sure they want to do a good job. But spending millions more for a two month period that will eventually blow over.....not worth it.
From my perspective as a driver it would be nice to have a ton more seasonals working to ease my load. But from a business standpoint you can't blame them. This time of year everyone is backed up so it doesn't really matter. Nobody is going to switch providers because of a two month busy season.

Ups was something like 83%.

Air vs air, I would bet they beat us too. My fedex ground deliveries have all been on time or at most s day late
Stop bleeding brown for a day
It is not like Christmas has a different date each year. I deliver all my crap everyday but I do not give Two Sheets if somebody gets there box of crap on time

Considering ground has no guarantees this time of year?
And the article actually said ups express and FedEx express. So may have been comparing air vs air

Sorry I was off on my number.
99% FedEx express
89% for ups air operation
Still that's not even being close to our competitors

The way the past few months have been I forgot Air has guarantees too.
Our air is a joke this time of year. It's pathetic, the worst I've ever

I think we may have delivered 1% of the air at my center today.
That's not on time. That's even attempted to deliver.

It's been late almost ever day since spring. We still have no answers.
"The world’s biggest package-delivery company has been preparing for months to handle the spike in shipments during the peak holiday season, implementing a 27-cent surcharge"
"UPS spokesman Steve Gaut said Tuesday, causing a “bubble” to develop at certain package centers."
"The bubble has worked its way through the system, and we expect everything to be back in line with our forecasts by tomorrow,” Gaut said."
Yeah, OK, Baghdad Bob. LOL
Love having the air in trace pcm makes for a great day
