[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 696016, member: 12508"] A lot of Express pkgs are bled-off and moved by truck, especially the Standard Air product. The overnight product moves almost exclusively by air, just as it does at UPS. Please explain to me how FedEx would be at a competitive disadvantage in the air market when they move said product by [B]identical [/B]means. UPS NDA and FedEx Priority Air are both loaded into aluminum/Lexan containers (cans or igloos) and flown all over the world by aircraft. Upon arrival, they are loaded onto roller-bed trucks and taken to sort facilities for distribution to UPS centers and FedEx stations. The ZIP code area argument is crap and you know it. Too bad if we have labor disputes. It's all part of "doing business", the same rationale we get from FedEx management, so "tough" if we go on strike and UPS gets all the business. Lesson learned for Mr. Smith. " Don't treat your employees like garbage or they'll eventually pay you back". We can go around and around on Ground, but any business that gets away with the level of crap FedEx Ground does is asking for it from the competition. I doubt UPS is going to continue to stand idly by and let Fred keep his extremely unfair advantage. Perhaps they'll start using some of the standard FedEx tactics to get their way....money, promising communities jobs in exchange for tax breaks etc. UPS should stoop to the same level and play the dirty way. So far, they've been way too nice about it. [/QUOTE]
