[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 2359441, member: 58386"] According to the numbers it would appear that the the decision to double Ground's capacity did not at the time take into consideration the entrance of Amazon into the delivery business which would appear to be a game changer. If all they are going to handle is Amazon would appear to not make a huge dent in the business but at the same time that Amazon box more often or not contains items that would have otherwise been bought at the big box stores.And don't forget the good old USPS, the carrier of the last resort.In addition if we get the slow down in the economy many are expecting we may see an industry with too much capacity. If that were to occur anything is possible when you are looking at an industry wide effort to rapidly divest itself of surplus capacity. [/QUOTE]
