[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1977631, member: 12508"] FedEx is trying to cut costs by modernizing it's aircraft and vehicle fleets, both of which are long overdue. UPS was the launch customer for the 767 in 1986, a plane that made sense then and still does now. Fred was still buying PAX DC10s up to 2004-2005 and converting them. It took them 25 years to figure out that twin engine freighters were the way to go. The DC10s are all gone, and they're starting to retire the MD11s and MD10s, well before their typical life-spans were up. In other words, another series of poor decisions. With the vehicles, FedEx is saving fuel, but at the cost of capacity. It's all meaningless anyway, because all of those savings are offset by massive turnover, moronic routing programs (DRA), and terrible management. [/QUOTE]
