[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 5250970, member: 12508"] I can never reply in real time any longer, so this will inevitably be delayed. The current FedEx business model certainly [I]should [/I]change the RLA status because the "facts" (mostly political connections) that determined the original ruling no longer apply. Plain and simple (for you), FedEx is no longer anything close to being an "airline". It is a hybrid model of Ground and Air that should result in FedEx becoming an NLRA-governed entity in terms of labor law. Please tell us why FedEx should continue to be under the RLA, sir. I would think that UPS would be extremely interested in seeing the government revisit the RLA Exemption, because Fred's gift is a major business advantage. FedEx can continue to play the game of calling terminals "stations" and assigning airport identifiers to terminals which never see an airplane and don't even have an airport. It's a game, a con, and a scam. You have to give Smith credit for pulling it off for so long, but the "airline" claim is so completely bogus now that placing FedEx entirely under the NLRA would seem to be obvious. Please relay what Raj tells you to tell us, OK? [/QUOTE]
