[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1096505, member: 24302"] I didn't say that the shipper cares about our profits, I said FedEx wants to emphasize to customers how Ground has progressed in hopes that they will go with Ground because it's more profitable to FedEx if they do. And I'm not saying that "my company is selling out Express" because it's the right of the company to pursue profits. Just don't lie to us and manipulate us. You don't know what's going on over here and you are basing your beliefs about FedEx on a false premise. And we are aware that in this economy people are looking for savings wherever they can find them. But FedEx hasn't just pulled Ground out of a hat, they've been working toward this end for a long time, and sold out their employees, especially their mid-range employees, to get the money together to make it happen. Do you think they'll share some of that projected $3.8 Billion in annual profits with their Express employees? If it goes anywhere it'll be to Ground drivers to keep them happy. The only reason we in mid-range matter is to keep at it to keep the profits rolling in while they expand their empire. And my argument hasn't been to tell you what shippers want, my argument is that FedEx is emphasizing to shippers that Ground can do most of what Express can do for less. If it works for them why would they pay Express rates? That's not selling us out, lying to us about having the future we want if we stick with FedEx is selling us out. [/QUOTE]
