Yes but just a bit in this case. As a shipper we dream of one day the two merging. That is one thing Fedex keeps telling us why they are better, we aren't really buying it in full. It's adequate, not ideal.
The issue is when it gets down to the wire the ground volume which is much larger than air industry wide, shifts to express. I'm not sure there is an carrier answer to this, maintaining equipment for just a week or two seems to be very costly. I think the answer is to have a waiver stating MBG is off during this period and they'll do the best they can. Oh wait...
