[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 943672, member: 12508"] No, we agree that E2 and XS will be shifted from Express over to Ground. Express is already flying Ground freight to numerous destinations, which I have listed here before. Once the shiftover is made, Ground will also do the pickups, so that will be volume just taken away from Express. Someone posted a while back that Ground was experimenting already with doing Express deliveries. They may have confused that with Ground's overnight commitment to deliver within a certain radius, something bbsam can probably address. It's no secret that Ground has been recruiting Express dispatchers and that the two systems are being consolidated so there can be a combined dispatch operation. As bbsam and others have said, it will save FedEx money, so there isn't really a question of whether it will happen, just when it will happen. Fred promised when he bought RPS that the two operations (Ground and Express) would always remain separate. Another lie. I know you like to make a big deal about the Ground trailers purchased a couple of years ago that were air-only. Why would Ground need air trailers? And why did they disappear from the ramps where they were parked? Why are some Ground terminals getting ballmats and scissor lifts? IMO, the only thing holding Fred back is legal considerations.
