[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1246862, member: 12508"] Yes, they did, but I think TUT and some others need a basic education here. Reason 1:Express and Ground will not merge because that would require Ground drivers to become real employees who get higher wages and benefits. This would largely negate the low-wage/no benefits Ground basic scam, and force Ground to raise rates. Reason 2: A merged Express/Ground would become essentially UPS, and there goes the RLA exemption because Smith could no longer claim that most of us are "airline employees", which we aren't anyway. Given current employee sentiments, Mr. Smith would have a unionized company in short order. Reason 3: The Ground and Express infrastructures are not designed for a merging of operations. Smith wants them separate, for the reasons outlined above. [/QUOTE]
