FedEx stock is crashing and burning. What do you think the future will be?

Right. The top-notch team they have in place can certainly achieve that goal. Not.
You guys will drive yourselves crazy even crazier than the extent to which I drive you crazy throwing up wild guesses. I will still say wait until the results from the final 2 quarters of the current fiscal year are completed. If there's not meaningful and long lasting improvement in the the fortunes of FDX then you'll see something happen It will be measured and gradual. I think it will require some type of global geopolitical event to become a large enough disruptor to accelerate the pace of change.
Remember the company is not losing money . The problem is it's not making the boo koo bucks it's used to making and that's something it's not yet used to but might just have to get used to it.

It's beaucoup. French.
Oh, i didn't know that you were a Cajun. My paternal great grandmother was a Cuban American. Is that close enough to earn your forgiveness?

My Ops manager wrote “big changes coming embrace it” on our news board at work on Tuesday evening. Would not elaborate... early start time for all drivers tomorrow 1/2/19.

Your first paragraph asserts that upper management is the problem, then the second paragraph illustrates why it's not, LOL!
The lost productivity wasn't enough to matter, a separate number wouldn't have been enough of a benefit to matter, and last but not least -it sailed over your head anyway- a customer who doesn't know the difference between "Ground pickup" and "Express pickup" still isn't going to know the difference when you give him two phone numbers to choose from.

Considering I've been on the right side of the issue ever since you brought it up in 2011, I'll just let the facts speak for themselves and you can continue making excuses.

Too many people are getting caught up in the "cheaper to use Ground to deliver the deferred freight" and not looking at the bigger picture. It's true in the most basic accounting sense where you look at the revenue from a deferred package vs the cost of using a Ground contractor to deliver it. But there's more to it than that, such as the exercise of getting it from the Express courier to the Ground contractor for on-time delivery.
The handful of Express people I know transferred to Ground (ops manager level up to whatever the Ground equivalent of managing director) have all said that Ground management is absolutely horrible. Express management expectations are ridiculously strict compared to Ground, and Express isn't that strict.
Exactly. All part of the bigger picture.
To make it all work will require Ground to pay more money, which would offset (or eliminate) the savings of taking on Express freight.

Express has had plenty of cheap competitors over the years and Fred has always had the same strategy: overall better service, especially being on-time. A good price isn't that good if the service is poor. That's why Richard Smith is making service such a big deal why there's a renewed focus on scan integrity and other things of that nature.

Yep. Not looking good for Express employees.
FedEx will cut air freight capacity after 50% margin loss
That's what we're here for. To provide you with the only form of entertainment that meets with you mom's approval . Can't help but be pretty lonely down there in your mom's basement with the only life forms you have to talk to are the mice and the feral cats coming in after them.

Hey!! When Dano was promoted from Assistant Shill (his previous position) to Senior Shill (present position), he went from $13.00 per hour to $16.50 per hour, so now he can have a real cat instead of the feral ones.
When he left to work at Wal-Mart as a greeter, he was really going places until they realized his FedEx management experience had only made him qualified to clean toilets and not have any meaningful contact with the general public.
"Thunder", his alter ego, also brings in cash recycling aluminum cans and cardboard.
Now, he's back to abusing people and telling lies so they don't quit and find real jobs.

Upper management now has the the opportunity to prove all the previous glowing press clippings and accolades of insight and superior knowledge correct.
It's time for the visionaries to prove their worth as it seems it's nut cutting time.
Lets see if the smart boys birth another equivalent of ZAP mail.

Better service? We’ll see about that. All the engineers (you know the one’s that management sucks up to) are pretty much told to back off on start times making service more and more difficult, just so X can save a few nickels. You and Richard are blowing smoke from a bad crackpipe.
