[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 2706128, member: 58386"] Another key indicator is the way they are mauling the healthcare and pensions plans of it's blue collar workforce a clear and undeniable attempt to divest itself of legacy costs and an easy way to do that is shift as much as possible in an orderly manner over to Ground then wait for more industry deregulation and if they get it shift the rest over to them. You are correct when you speak about contractors having to burden themselves with the cost of having to keep a battalion size fleet of spare trucks around and a half mile long list of spare manpower who would be willing to come out on a moment's notice to handle spikes. But X ain't going to worry about that. They've got somebody else to do it. Ground's sheer economy of operation will be the driving force going forward made even more so by the new so called "negotiation" process whereby they can compress contractor margins so low to the point where the contractor finally cries out in agony tells X to go pound salt then calls the bank and tells them to send somebody over to drive away the trucks.
