[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1040869, member: 12508"] IMO, XS is on borrowed time. Express might still offer it, but Fred wants Ground to move the bulk of it. Same with E2. Almost all XS and the bulk of E2 can go Ground. NYC to LAX freight would have to be flown, but Ground could still deliver it. R1a, (and others) have said the "Master Plan" is to have Express pickup E2 and have Ground deliver it, which I tend to agree with. I also agree with the part of the plan that has FT drivers going PT or very close to it. This would have PT FO drivers delivering FO and then P1 if needed. The "FT" people would start in the early afternoon and do pickups, cutting their hours substantially. Fred is "slow and deliberate" only up to a point, which is where he thinks he can get away with it without disrupting operations. We have been "boiled frogs" for a long time now, and Fred only needs to turn the heat up a notch to complete the cooking process. Without any realistic prospects of going union, he can do whatever he wants. That means an end to guaranteed 35 hr minimums for FTers, more benefit cuts, and more hours being shifted to newer, lower-paid workers. Nothing is safe as long as Fred S is in-charge. He's a weasel guarding a house full of chickens (us). Think we can trust him? [/QUOTE]
