[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 715768, member: 12508"] I love your Homer Simpson logic. I don't know the stats on the number of our planes vs. UPS, but FedEx includes the hundreds of feeder aircraft it owns in the totals. UPS usually farms-out their feeder (aircraft) business and doesn't paint them in UPS colors. Most of the FedEx feeder fleet is run by third party companies like Empire Air. Count wide and narrow body [B]jets,[/B] not Cessnas, ATR's and Pipers, and you'll see much closer numbers. Memphis is a backwater airport that is the main FedEx hub. Of course, you're not going to see much flying in and out of MEM other than FedEx. And a lot of P1 and P2 run by truck. If either can be trucked, it is. Nobody wants to be in Memphis unless they have to. It's a hole. Who cares if we're "#2"? What does that have to do with being paid fairly or not? NOTHING. Ask Marge what she thinks. Or maybe Bart. Fred S has had a special deal since Day 1. It allows him to operate at a tremendous and unfair advantage over UPS, and everyone else for that matter. What's wrong with a "level playing field"? 36 years and counting is 36 years too long. Fred won't have a problem if he were to hypothetically shut-down LAX? Right. There might be ways around it, but they'd be expensive and deadly to service standards. It would be a huge problem. UPS and FedEx will both do anything to get an advantage. Such is the nature of the business. Fred S has had his way for nearly 4 decades, and UPS has never chosen to really challenge him...until now. Again, what's wrong with a fair and square ballgame where everyone has to play by the same set of rules? Fred makes his own and then buys politicians who make sure he gets to keep making them. Bottom line. FedEx and UPS move their overnight product [B]exactly[/B] the same way via [B]exactly [/B]the same means, yet one company has a perpetual advantage that allows it to bust unions, intimidate employees, and severely underpay them relative to the competition. Fair? NO. Your post is pure crap and you've just been blown to pieces...again. Keep trying. [/QUOTE]
