[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 945582, member: 12508"] Fred knows that there would be a massive Express response to a switchover of services to Ground. The RLA is still Fred's ace in the hole because keeping us in that jail is his best insurance against a unionized Express division, but the potential liberalization of voting requirements for the RLA might have Smith thinking twice. I don't think it will be easy money for him because Ground is going to have issues with service commitments and on-calls. As of now, just getting it there on the designated day is Ground "service". Express is different in that regard. I think his real fear is a legal one, because using Ground employees to deliver packages that go through the Express linehaul system might jeopardize the Ground scam. My bet is that the Legal Department has advised him to wait until he's paid-off enough politicians to make Ground's legality iron-clad, and even that might be problematic because the legal system is tougher for a scoundrel like Smith to purchase than the legislative system. Run upstairs, climb under his desk, and ask MT3 if I'm right and then report back to us, OK? [/QUOTE]
