Those same pilots became part of day-to-day delivery, and the business started relying on them. Sometimes intentionally, because early results looked good.

With the Supreme Court potentially poised to invalidate recent tariffs, organizations face a confusing scenario: the possibility of some $200B in refunds to be sought, the specter of tariff reinstatement through other means, and general ongoing unpredictability regarding costs and processes for global trade.
