[QUOTE="59 Dano, post: 945525, member: 23516"] Then again, perhaps the major cost cutting had something to do with the fact that they were only generating a net profit of 2.1% for '09, when they'd had 5.5% and 9.3% for '08 and '07, respectively. 2009 was brutal to the company and there was serious concern about whether or not it would turn a profit for the year. I don't doubt that the RLA was a consideration but let's get real, they went into major cost cutting mode because they were taking an absolute beating. Someone please explain the logic in arguing for almost 4 years that 'Fred' is going to switch it over for the sake of satisfying his own extreme avarice when the guy isn't going to push it when he can do so easily and with near impunity. He has no union to deal with and it's virtually impossible to for the Express couriers to get one voted in. If switching the aforementioned freight to Ground makes so much financial sense, then it would make perfect sense to do it now. [/QUOTE]
