Most Ground contractors AREN'T looking ahead to the future of FedEx. Among the mercenaries of Ground, bbsam is non-typical in this regard. Most of the contractors are looking at just the operation as they see it (and as they are told it will function), and aren't going to the effort of "sticking their head up", taking a look around and trying to gauge the direction and intensity of the future winds. Business professionals do that (it is what they are paid to do), and in all fairness - the typical Ground contractor isn't what I'd call "professional" when it comes to forecasting business trends.
