[QUOTE="59 Dano, post: 4451318, member: 23516"] So we're going from "Amazon is going to blow FedEx out of the water" to "Well, maybe it needs a few more years." No, FDX didn't have all the volume/capacity on day one. They had a service that had never been offered and had to grow it. Amazon is in no such situation. There are decades' worth of data and examples from ground transport companies, air transport companies, and integrated companies to draw from. There were multiple lengthy threads here devoted to the issue. Remember how it was going to be so easy? They could just copy the Ground contractor model, as it was designed to be compliant with existing laws. The sorting and routing of packages wasn't to be a problem. Amazon was going to poach all the needed white collar guys from FDX. And so on and so on and so on. There was no end to the theorizing about how this was going to be a home run. You should remember, as you were right in the thick of it. Dude, I'm just reporting what's on the scoreboard. Can't help it that you don't like the score. [/QUOTE]
