[QUOTE="TechGrrl, post: 546501, member: 4932"] Yes, yes he is.... What is funny is that UPS' real advantage over FedEx is the airline. UPS has a huge cost advantage over Fred due to a couple of things: 1) We really are fully integrated: one truck to bring them all! 2) Our airfeed costs are much lower because our IE guys actually have a much more efficient air network than FedEx does. Since airplanes are large machines that burn money, this is critical. 3) Worldport helps a lot, too, although sorting costs are actually the least expensive piece of delivering the package. Since the bill wouldn't affect his airline guys, I'm not sure why he is so uptight, except for that Memphis plantation mentality, maybe. [/QUOTE]
