[QUOTE="FedEx2000, post: 791146, member: 13621"] Admit what? All I said was that I personally preferred the call in method......has nothing to do with FedEx, you, or a lawsuit.......just my opinion. UPS doesn't have the same issue b/c they have plenty of ground freight sitting around that they can work until the air freight arrives. You feel like you are getting a raw deal b/c you want a 9-5 job.....that's just not how it works here. Some people prefer to have the option to come in later so they can spend time with their kids in the morning or drop them off at school.....get some errands done.....sleep in...etc. Also, your beloved UPS used to pull this at my old ramp that fed our station: Their flight arrived about 20 minutes before ours (since they had less air freight), after they landed they would call the tower and claim low visibility......the tower would then call off our flight and we would be diverted to another airport 2-hours drive time away. Mind you, this was BS....and it took a not so nice call from someone well above myself to kindly ask UPS to knock it off. Please explain to me how you, as a manager, would handle that situation? The flight departs on time and is expected in on time until right before they begin final approach.....now the freight will be 4 hours late (Extra flight time, download/mini-sort, drive time). I'm sure your answer will be something like "Not my problem/I'm not a manager." Just one example of something that you cannot plan for and no matter what you do, you will upset someone. You can't please everyone all the time. [/QUOTE]
