[QUOTE="quadro, post: 784372, member: 12850"] In reference to your first post if "if's" and "but's" were candy and nuts.....well, you know how that goes. As I recall, the only thing that I backed you up on was that Ground moves by aircraft to Alaska and Ground pays Express for that. I have seen no evidence of Ground routinely moving to other destinations by aircraft. I also doubt that Ground is delivering Express packages. Provide a tracking number and we can see how it moved. And as for SOS and E2 moving to Ground, I don't think we'll see that either. Ground would have to use aircraft to move the coast to coast stuff and employees or not, their cost structure would go up because it simply costs more to move something by air than by truck. Secondly, Express couldn't survive without the SOS and E2. Express can't simply operate as only an overnight system. There wouldn't be enough income and revenue to support the network. You would reduce some costs in terms of labor, vehicles, etc but you still have to have some sort of aircraft and vehicle fleet. Personally, I don't think you could reduce expenses enough to offset the loss in income and revenue. [/QUOTE]
