[QUOTE="XEQaF, post: 3998732, member: 76117"] I like the topic, because anyone associated with FX or the industry in general need to ask these questions. I would agree with the shift of volume to FXG and reduce where possible on the lagging Express side. Aging planes, higher operating costs etc. FXG is the shinning star in the portfolio. Off loading the distribution centers, sorting etc to make it a true Independent Contractor model would be nice but the opposite is happening. Investing in hubs, facilities and solidifying their control on the Ground model more and more. I venture to say that eventually they would like to see a consolidation of FXG contractors so they will only be dealing with a handful maybe even one big national contractor and who knows, maybe that company goes public and someone, someone "unknown" investor buys the controlling shares of that contracting company. Maybe far fetched who knows. Look at Canada. Who owns 90% of Purolator? Canada Post does.. Why? That's would be like USPS buying a direct competitor and running the brands individually. Lots of moving parts in play here. [/QUOTE]
