I believe in conducting business ethically. That's the difference between you and me.

I never said they didn't have good ideas, I said that they can have some that are impractical. Why are 99% of them ignored? They are narrow in focus and don't take into other factors into consideration. The gains in one area (service, for instance) are more than offset by losses in another (SPH). Or vice versa. Or this guy wants his route adjusted to get more hours. OK, but it hurts the station in P/FTE and doesn't give us any gains in SPH or service. And my personal favorite, the courier who always makes service and goal who swears that his area is too big for him to make service and goal and he wants it restructured. "We can hire a PT courier to take what I bleed off." Yeah.
All of the above X 100. They aren't necessarily bad idea, just narrow.
The problem with your point is that couriers can think anything they like, but are powerless to implement change on their own. The company puts a lot of window dressing on trying to make us think our input is part of the process, but they only try something we come up with when it's clear it will work and make them look good in the process. In my experience, that is, YMMV.

You are going to hide behind the shield of ethics? YOU??!??!?
since you have a college degree,you know this statement to be categorically unfair. People do and always will have different opinions on what is and is not ethical. That his actions or mine do not fit your views does not put you in a position to declare the actions or the individual as "unethical".I believe in conducting business ethically.

The statement is not categorically unfair, and it has nothing to do with college. FedEx is not an ethical organization, and Dano is fine with that. Since you point out that opinions differ, that is my opinion. "I believe in conducting business ethically" is an opinion, not a statement of fact, although in the case of FedEx unethical behavior is the status quo.
