[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1143427, member: 12508"] Yes. If they could go to an all-contractor model, they certainly would. I foresee losses for the Express opco as they continue to perpetuate the DRAsaster by throwing new hires and money at it with increasing velocity. When you get DRA, you'll see for yourself what a dysfunctional mess it is, and how it adversely affects productivity and profits. They are rapidly increasing headcount and hours when the opposite is supposed to be happening. Besides DRA, they are also buying a lot of new aircraft and vehicles. As the new planes come on-line there will be savings, but those are long-term in nature. Wall Street thinks short-term, and when Express starts piling-up losses investors are going to start to see through Fred's false promises regarding the Express opco. Even more emphasis will be placed on Ground. As others have said, Express is still the flagship of the opcos, even if the bow is under water and the stern is slowly tilting upwards toward the sky. If and when it founders, people are going to pay attention and look at FedEx leadership, which will make all of the usual excuses and then redouble their efforts to build Ground. I'm enjoying the show immensely. [/QUOTE]
