[QUOTE="Skippy123, post: 550194, member: 23366"] FedEx Express and UPS are fundamentally different companies, and the laws should continue to reflect that. FedEx Express is the world's largest and best run airline - shipping more than 85 percent of its packages in the air. UPS is a trucking company and ships more than 85 percent of packages by truck. It seems UPS is lobbying for change b/c it believes the RLA gives FedEx Express a "competitive advantage." But w/o RLA controls, the government would in effect give UPS unfair advantage by potentially putting in jeopardy the reliability of the FedEx delivery network. Who would pay the most if the FAA reauthorization bill passes? Consumers, in the form of higher shipping costs and reduced reliability and service of next-day shipments for medicines and other essential goods. That's the untold story! It's all spelled out out on brownbailout.com and it's an interesting read. [/QUOTE]
