[QUOTE="The Youngin' Of It All, post: 2706094, member: 66633"] I never said I was wrong or right. All I did was give my perspective of the situation the way I see it. Like I said before, X controls the cards in the end and it'll be interesting to see how Pittsburgh wants to integrate this one, IF they do. But explain to me how if I am currently heading into a negotiation process and we agree upon a 3 year contract (because let's face it corporate doesn't want to do 1 year contract deals and have to deal with renegotiating every single year), how it couldn't be a possibility? As I also stated before, if contractors are able to manage some Express volume (Express Saver), whether by choice or not and X can still make a ton of money while deflecting the major operating costs, why wouldn't they intend on doing so for THEIR own benefit? They don't care if it takes the contractor 10 or 20 people or a million dollar investment to buy spare vehicles to get it done because it's not their money invested. As I said before, if it can be done for less perks and pay and still ran profitable for them, why the hell not? As Makaveli said before, they are taking a chance putting it in contractors hands and have made a mess of everything with keeping the two OpCo's separate, but they obviously have their reasons for doing so. They are tired of getting sued and having class actions, but they obviously rebranded for 1 of 2 scenarios. The bottom line is what it really boils down to is X looking to generate profit for the shareholders and upper level management / corporate in the end. I'll let you know more when we know more, but this is just my vision so damn me if I do or damn me if I don't. [/QUOTE]
