[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1301494, member: 12508"] Answer the original question, shill. Why is FedEx an airline and UPS isn't, except for the UPS airlines portion? They both fly planes in support of delivery operations, and as Upstate pointed-out, UPS even flies passengers on charters during weekends. That would seem to make UPS [B]more [/B]of an airline. The 1996 FAA Reauthorization Act fiasco was Fred's money at work. They snuck in FedEx-friendly language literally at the last minute....Fred's money at work with his bought and paid-for politicians. FedEx has always been aircraft in support of a delivery service. Over time, that relationship has grown into a delivery service that uses aircraft, with a huge ratio of vehicles to aircraft, and a vast majority of employees that have zero contact with aircraft, airport facilities, or aircraft operations. In other words, FedEx should be classified just like UPS, with separate trucking and aircraft operations. Let the pilots remain under the RLA. the rest of us should be re-classified NLRA...just like UPS. [/QUOTE]
