[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5521078, member: 58386"] Mr. Fedex, as we talked about earlier I don't think UPS has any moves on it's docket until after a new Teamster contract is reached. Afterward however, it would comes as no surprise if UPS independently or in partnership with other carriers launch a full scale challenge to Fat Freddy's exemption. Among the many questions that will have to be answered in court perhaps foremost will be this question: If as Fat Freddy claims Ground and Express are two independent operating companies then why did corporate fail to maintain the freight class separation that identifies and serves as the basis of Fat Freddy's claim that the two are independent of one another? In other words. What is Ground whose DOT operating authority identifies it as a ground based carrier doing hauling air box? As his excuse for doing so Fat Freddy tries to use "synergies" , "efficiencies" or "economy of operation" and similar bs I don't think the courts would be inclined to buy into it. As the judge in the Estrada vs. RPS/FXG stated: "if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...it's a duck". In the end Fat Freddy might be faced with two choices....Either forfeit his RLA exemption or end the practice of assigning air labeled freight to his ground carrier regardless of how much more profitable it might be. Leaving him with the task of finding another way to compete against UPS the model of corporate efficiency. Or spin Ground off into it's own truly separate free standing company with it's own stock listing similar to what XPO is currently doing. [/QUOTE]
