[QUOTE="The Mayor, post: 732513, member: 21132"] I know that this thread started out about the "planes", but I just have to ask. I anyone else's station seeing a truck shortage? :biting: At my station, we currently run approximately 80 a.m. routes with now 32 rental vans! Talk about a waste of money!:surprised: The W 700's have been getting retired faster than you can say abbra cadabra because of frame cracking issues. So, our brilliant idea has been to replace them with rental vans (which of course costs thousands). We have been constantly been told that, "just hang in there, the trucks are on the way." Well, this was back in January....It's now the end of May.:angry-very2: This brings me to the point of how are we able to afford these new planes when they keep saying that we are so broke and that our volume is down? Hmmmmm, I don't know about you, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the truth here. :knockedout: I can't wait to see the 4th quarter report and see how they will try to snowball the financial report over on us. I am so sick of this bull****** and being lied to. :angry-very2::angry-very2:Why do we need bigger planes if volume is down? The cost of 1 777F aircraft could yield a heck of a lot of trucks to transport our frieght. Oh wait, that's right, volume is down....what was I thinking. :sick: [/QUOTE]
