[QUOTE="Bailey4, post: 1110975, member: 36374"] I agree with IsItMe. There is not going to be some giant leap of growth. It is obvious that FedEx corporate has been actively pursuing many ways to switch FedEx Air shipments to Ground. Why.....It inflates the Ground numbers and makes it look like [B]more[/B] new company growth than there really is and Fred makes more per piece on top of it. I think he can't grow Ground on its own merits to so to fill his Ground network, he is pushing Express customers to Ground in as many ways as possible. Call it lining his pockets one last time before he gets too old and steps down. All the while we get the usual...don't worry about the buyouts.....we have a cost cutting plan in place that will come to fruition by 2016. Ha....I bet you do and it doesn't involve buyouts for couriers. But I bet it does include a good reduction couriers. Hence... all the jargon about ......all you have to do is improve your stops per hour "little lamb" so we can cut as many of you as possible.
