[QUOTE="959Nanook, post: 1027594, member: 14462"] Maybe it is just me but it seems to me that FDX business model would be more expensive than UPS business model. They have a lot of redundancy with Express and Ground drivers covering same territory. From what some say on BC, UPS is dying a slow death in Ground. FDX probably ships higher percentage of air products, hence, they might get higher revenues per package (even with cutthroat shipping rates?). All the same, world's largest commercial air fleet can't be cheap to operate if financial health of other commercial airlines is any indication. I understand our labor costs are higher at UPS but anecdotal evidence that I hear leads me to believe that FDX is not as lean, comparatively, as UPS (I did not do financial research to see if that bears out in the financials). I have no idea what I am talking about but I believe it is possible. [/QUOTE]
