FedEx railway act

[MrFedEx]

It is interesting to se which sides of the argument people take.
I agree that an "Airline" is People-carrying as understood at the time of the Regulation.
Cargo / Express /Air Taxi / etc. weren't around then. At least not in a number that would bring attention at the meeting where these regs. were formulated.

Idiots that keep blowing the same jerky BS need to get their clocks cleaned and a dose of reality injected

Like you? Just what are you saying anyway? The RLA exemption is (very simply) a gift to Fred S. FedEx has always been a delivery company that uses airplanes to get pkgs from point A to point B, just like trucking companies, railroads, and other forms of transportation that line-haul the freight via one mode, then deliver it via another. A railroad that line-hauls a shipping container from the Port of New York to the Port of Los Angeles, and then has a truck deliver it to the consignee isn't any different from FedEx using airplanes to essentially do the same thing. Here's a question for you. UPS moves and delivers it's express product (NDA)using the exact same methods as FedEx. Why does FedEx Express qualify for the RLA exemption and UPS doesn't? Hmmm. Sounds like a special deal for one company and a no deal at all for the second one. How is that?

Here's a little review for you. When I ship a UPS NDA product, it's picked-up by a truck (just like FedEx), then transported to a center (or FedEx station), transloaded into an igloo, container (or FedEx "can"), and then loaded onto a UPS (or FedEx) airplane. Where is the difference? There isn't any.
