[QUOTE="59 Dano, post: 1156837, member: 23516"] No argument there. People aren't going to pay a premium for expedited service when they don't need it, nor will they pay big money on a 90 mile overnight trip when a much cheaper option is available. I think it's funny, at least here. To hear some of the Express couriers here tell it, you'd think that there is a world of difference between the job duties of a Ground driver and an Express courier, but Express couriers could easily do the jobs of high level executives. Many moons ago, I worked in radio. The guys there were raising hell about how the suits were killing music radio by gutting the live talent in favor of voice-tracking and getting rid of tech folks in favor of automation. The listener never noticed and it saved tons of money. Once the listeners found out, they didn't care. Just have the DJ sound entertaining and play good music. That was supposed to kill music radio but it never did. The same goes for Ground. Whatever you give up in quality is made up by saving money. Most people don't care. People can argue and complain about it, but it won't change the math. [/QUOTE]
