[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 702781, member: 12508"] 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 [I]express product [/I](NDA)using the [B]exact [/B]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 [B]truck (just like FedEx), [/B]then transported to a [B]center[/B] [B](or FedEx station), [/B]transloaded into an igloo, container [B](or FedEx "can"),[/B] and then loaded onto a UPS [B](or FedEx) [/B]airplane. Where is the difference? [B]There isn't any. [/B] [/QUOTE]
