I have a customer who sends NDA letters to Trump on a weekly basis.

Anthrax?

Figured you would know that, since you have a hotline to corporate.

I was going to make my post a crack about that but I couldn't resist the inside joke on Monster and Copenhagen

You need a pinch of Skoal between your cheek and gum.

So the deal is what? about $1 million/week for all of the pentagon's shipping needs regardless of volume for the next 5 years. Sounds like a crazy deal. It's a hedge for one side and we won't find out who won until they to renegotiate another deal in 5 years. Interesting to say the least.

Maybe we can take the post office one away too, when is that up?

I'm fairly certain that one just got renewed. So it'll be a few more years yet.

Why have one contract when you can have 2 for twice the price?

2024. It's the sweeter deal. Over $1.5 billion annually for airport to airport service and nothing else.

Sounds like both UPS and FedEx got contracts from reports I saw today. Seems odd they are both for the same amount though.

Maybe they are going to merge--------------NO I'm not going to say it.

Could be the government splitting the business 50/50. It that case, Fedex might be the big winner if the government basically sees the service provided by each as basically equivalent.

Given that one is union and the other not I wonder if the 1997 UPS strike is still fresh on their minds and may have weighed on their decision?

I seriously doubt it.

I simply think it was done primarily to gauge our performance when it comes to renew in 2022.
