[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1065683, member: 12508"] My guess is that there will be several major Express accounts shifted over to Ground after peak. The announcement you alluded to in an earlier post could be related to this, or it also could be a public declaration of a shiftover of Express services. Either way, we lose here at Express, and you gain at Ground. The loss of Verizon to Ground would be a major blow. All indications point to Express business going over to Ground as major accounts get sold on the savings they will experience. of course, Fred will also experience a major flow of cash into his pockets in the process. Please listen-up, Purple People. Mr. Smith receives a lot more money per Ground package than he does per Express package. Where do you suppose Fred will focus his attention(s)? There is no incentive for Fred to grow Express business and every reason to both grow Ground and shift as much Express product as possible over to the Ground opco. Mr. Smith has no loyalty to Express employees, a fact he has demonstrated over and over again. He goes where the money is, and the money is at Ground. As exploitative as the Express business model is, the Ground model is even more so. If it looks like a weasel, acts like a weasel, and sneaks around like a weasel...it's a weasel. [/QUOTE]
