I have to ask Dave. Why would anyone try to take a train on if they didn't feel pressured to do so for whatever inconsequential reason? I wouldn't ever, but some people feel the pressure of the things management asks of them. This may of been the issue.
...which is why I said "while I do understand where you are coming from....there is no denying the pressure they put on us throughout the day but, at least here at UPS, they do stress safety and would never, ever advocate trying to "beat the train" just to make their numbers...
I think it would be a stretch to conclude that the courier, who was a 30+ year veteran, made his fateful decision as a result of the pressure he may have felt to make his numbers and that FedEx indirectly contributed to his death.
