[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 4400206, member: 12508"] Wrong, sir. If your arguments were valid, UPS should also be RLA. Like I said before, the RLA dates from 1934, which is 39 years before Federal Express came into existence. The RAILWAY Labor Act was designed to keep the railroads running and has zero to do with Express. If FedEx stopped dead tomorrow, it would not be a huge hit on the economy. In the 1930's, the railroads moved almost everything, including the US Mail, and trucking was a small player. Air express was almost unheard of, and didn't exist on any sort of scale. To take a law written in 1934, and morph it into a gift for Fred is some real political gamesmanship. It wasn't fair to the competition and gave Federal Express an illegal advantage. It always made me laugh to see the copy of the RLA hanging on the wall in the stations (it used to be in all of them) and realize what a dated, irrelevant piece of legislation it was. Yes, I'll always hate Fred and his company. [/QUOTE]
