Switching to a new barcode at ground. Is express doing the same? As early as january 2013. Could be a sign...
I got an email today suggesting that Express is looking to change to a 13 digit air bill numbering system from the current 12.
There was no indication what this 13th digit would be used to denote.
If there is to be "harmonization" between the opcos, then going to a 13 digit code could be part of it. For Express, the 13th digit would be used to indicate an "Express" shipment in the software - as opposed to a Ground shipment...
Things are starting to "jump" in Memphis in anticipation of the big announcement...
