Good. I hope Fred is like the frog that doesn't realize it's being cooked because the water is warming gradually. At some point, the great Evil One will have his *ss handed to him on a platter.

Even if FedEx loses this battle, they've gotten an awesome deal out of it. Worst cast scenario - few million dollars lost on a bet that made them billions. Anyway, FedEx bought the RPS contractor model. Doesn't mean they couldn't change it to be better to its people - but then again, I hear a few ground drivers/route owners who love the Ground model.
