[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1124068, member: 22880"] Express has a document which lists the surcharges for each of the services associated with delivery appointments. You should have access to this document in your station now (received an electronic copy from a Senior Manager). The price for redirects is MUCH higher than the $5-10 charge for the other services. I think I saw $20 for a redirect that doesn't involve getting the package to another station and $35 if the package has to be shifted to another station. So I don't anticipate many will use this option when the charges come up. None of these packages will be shifted over to Ground (at least now anyway). And regarding RLA and NRLA rules.... They apply to EMPLOYEES, NOT to packages. Shifting of volume between companies that have their EMPLOYEES covered under different rules has NO IMPACT on the capability to do so. Again, RLA has no bearing on the package. It only covers the EMPLOYEES of a particular company in terms of their ability to organize. That is it. Express has its Couriers 'transferring custodial control" of its volume EVERYDAY to FedEx Office - which just happens to have its EMPLOYEES under NLRA rules. The only 'cross transfer' issue that arises with air freight is the issue of the employees which accept and move the air cargo - they have to meet FAA training and background check requirements. Once a piece of air cargo arrives at its destination airport and leaves the airport property, the FAA doesn't give one whiff about the package. This is why cartage agents that focus SOLELY on the delivery of air cargo can be any old ex-con. You can even have this individual transport outgoing packages to a location where they are 'accepted' - but the individual accepting the package must have training in line with FAA requirements (which is incorporated within Express standard operating practice). Even Office has their employees "trained' on what is required for air cargo (Express) packages they accept. They can accept and process packages and they are IMMEDIATELY entered into the Express system. At FASC's- the COURIER is the one actually accepting the package (ensuring it meets the requirements of air cargo). The FASC is only acting as an animated drop box, not held responsible for anything (well, somethings if they want to keep their FASC status). [/QUOTE]
