[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 578601, member: 484"] Living THat might be true if they would have stayed with what they started with. The issue has boiled over because they are into freight (before UPS was) and bought RPS to get into the ground business. Had they done that without using the Brand Fedex, then I would agree. The overnight portion of their business would be air package. But in most areas, the FedEx companies of "other services" has more employees and more delivery vehicles than Fedex air. Thanks airbus fixer for making the point. Keep on drinking the coolaid. So by design, they have become exactly what we are, competing with us, but hiding behind their status that was not designed to cover what they have become. The little game that they play with words about they were an airline that became a trucking company does not matter. If your business changes, so do the rules and regulations that apply. Let me give you one example. The A company is a distributor that buys a product. They sell it wholesale to company B who is a retailer. Different rules apply to both companies when it comes to selling this product. All of a sudden, company A decides to retail, but at a very steep discount. And he is telling the manufacture that the retail rules dont apply, because he started out as a wholesaler, not a retailer. He even goes as far as opening up a retail store, but still uses his wholesale business to get a huge price break discount that is not available to the retail businesses. While some parts of the example do not fit exactly, you get the drift. Like any other conversation, Fedex is trying to muddy the waters with all sorts of snippets that do not have bearing on the conversation. Personally, without card check, I dont think Fedex will become union. d [/QUOTE]
