[QUOTE="floridays, post: 4470854, member: 68849"] [COLOR=#ff0000]Exactly why was margin sacrificed?[/COLOR] Deep discounting may increase revenue, at the same time it will lower margins. [COLOR=#ff0000]Exactly what failures did this low cost, margin defeating volume help contribute to?[/COLOR] Overloaded sort systems contributing to late departures leading to late arrivals Ad Hoc flights created to service overflow, whether it was caused by discounted Amazon or full rate freight that had no room Difficulties in crew scheduling for these ad hoc flights, and the associated problems created Wet leases from Atlas Air explicitly needed because of lower margin highly discounted volume from Amazon Deeply discounted Amazon freight did not contribute to any of of these situations that led to failures which tarnished the brand and reputation of Fedex? Is any of the above correct? [/QUOTE]
