[QUOTE="quadro, post: 784613, member: 12850"] Both of you are missing an extremely vital point. You cannot simply move SOS and E2 (or just E2 for that matter) to Ground. Physically it is as simple as MFE points out but the logistics of it isn't the issue. If you are going to have Ground deliver the product then you have to charge Ground prices. Even if Ground pays Express (which I'm sure they do anyway with whatever Express moves for them to Alaska), Express won't take in the same revenue as it does now for those packages. Without that revenue, you cannot support the aircraft (or the vehicle) fleet that you still have to run because your still moving the same packages. The business model that the two of you suggest cannot support itself because, once again, it costs more to move a package by air than it does by truck. [/QUOTE]
