[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 4550466, member: 58386"] Look you guys, you're all asking the same fundamental questions. Questions regarding which one of the 3 major carriers will survive (forget about succeeding) the upcoming holiday peak season given the extraordinary circumstances and the flood of historic events unfolding seemingly every minute? It's all simply a matter of redundancy . The carrier who brings to the battle the right kind of redundancy and the most of it will win the day. From my vantage point I look at the high labor costs of UPS by for decades it has been the model of corporate efficiency and shows no sign of falling off that mountain anytime soon. USPS on the other hand is plagued with heavy prepayment pension costs and it's cash flow problems are well publicized. It is however the carrier of the last resort one that still provides service to every zip in the country and Congress has not and never will allow it to fail. Even if it requires using the National Guard to get the job done. Fat Freddy/ Memphis Fats Inc....It is what it is. A bunch of acquisitions bolted together like the Titanic All those OPCO's out there today flying around like Buzzy The Hummingbird along with those so called "entrepreneurs" who are nothing more than non employee supply chain administrators doubling as anti union firewalls. A supply chain that in order to work requires enormous quantities of low wage throw away labor. And most importantly labor that actually gives a flying face fellatio about whether the right box, in the right condition, gets to the right place at the right time. And this is where the redundancy challenge for Far Freddy lies. Will there be among that enormous labor requirement not only enough people period but enough people among them who actually give a rodent's expletive sufficient to create a workforce that will be up to the challenge? So grab your cards and get in your chairs because the Bingo game is ready to roll. [/QUOTE]
