For the contractors that remain, maybe FedEx will try to force abandoned areas upon contractors as a condition of renewing their contract.I've read that contingency contractors make bank. I also heard Patton claim that he would no longer fill contingency routes. But it wouldn't surprise me if he would encourage a large contractor exodus, and fill those contingency routes under a new or different entity.It wouldn't be the first time a successful businessman said one thing, and did something else.</blockquote>
