[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 888738, member: 22880"] Well, that is almost hard confirmation then. I like to get two independent sources before I'm satisified that something is "true", but I see no reason to doubt your observation on this - especially when it melds with other information I have. The only "strange" thing is that you seem to suggest a single piece of decking... There needs to be about 20 or so for a complete functional roller deck to operate without jamming up with containers being rotated on and off line. I'm still going to hold off on the rhetorical "told y'all so", but I sense it is only for an additional month or so. Just too much is happening at once - any one thing can be explained, but when taken in totality, a "plan" is in motion. 1) Dispatch functions being unified. 2) De Facto hiring freeze of full-time Couriers in Express, while those open positions can be filled with part-timers without permission needed from district level. Getting a full-time replacement Courier from off the street is practically impossible - transfers allowed, but then losing location ends up hiring part-timer to replace - same net effect. 3). Rapid introduction of the new Mercedes "sprinter" vehicles to Express (about a vehicle per station per month). Doesn't seem like a lot, but over a couple of years, most stations would have a majority of these vehicles in their fleets. 4) First hand (from my point of view) accounts of the new sprinters being used to not only replace the old sprinters, but to pull W700 off the main belt parking areas. 5) Introduction of identical equipment for Ground and Express (scanners) - enabling duality of function with a single software upgrade. 6) Doing away with old performance review system in Express - replacement with a (as of yet) undefined, uniform pay increase defined by job category and either by district or region level. 7) Ground and Office managers being moved off salary and put on wage. Still no official word if Express will do same (there will be a rebellion if this does happen). Any of these things taken singularily mean nothing. All occurring in rapid fire succession while taking into consideration information that has been leaked out - it is part of a deliberate business plan to yet again transform how FedEx operates internally.
