[QUOTE="RockyRogue, post: 295884, member: 7185"] Oh, I agree Corporate America is no playground. Its a 'dog-eat-dog' world. And I believe it doesn't have to be. I remember reading a number of years ago--around the time DHL bought the old Airborne--when a UPS spokesperson made a comment. It was something along the lines of, "If [I]we[/I] have to follow the rules, our competition should, too." True, FDX does have trouble. And IMHO, there are a bunch of financial/accounting shenanigans going on, too. Making it more difficult for them might help UPS short-term but what about long-term? If UPS decided to smash Fred like a bug, you can say good-bye to 90% of the Ivory Tower in Atlanta (not that you'd miss them much) for anti-trust violations. I disagree on there being absolutely no ethics in corporate America. I'll admit its rare but there are ethical execs. Remember Enron? What kind of ethics do you think the person posessed that blew the whistle on that smoke-screen? -Rocky [/QUOTE]
