They just lost my business. FedEx doing this, too?
I would look for confirmation on this first, no offense to the article but we have seen several stories like this that were not accurate - these planes are not set up for passengers not to mention UPS probably understands how unpopular this might be so negative press would potentially outweigh any profit from carrying passengers. That is not their business model.
If they were to do this it’s a poor business decision because it would cost them.
Just my .02.
