[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 950710, member: 12508"] It almost sounds as if FedEx has intentionally been underselling Express in an attempt to shift customers over to Ground. Or, put differently, sacrificing one opco to promote another opco. If FedEx Sales Reps aren't selling the Express product, the big volume drop-offs make perfect sense. This would also be perfect "justification" when Fred and MT3 come on Frontline in a couple months telling us how "sorry" they are that we've all been made part-timers, or almost as bad, split-shifters with a huge gap in the middle of the day...every day. This is one way they could still have full-timers, but screw us on hours, and I'm sure it would be presented in classic FedEx fashion as an "opportunity". Can you imagine a 3 hour split [B]every [/B]day? You do your P1/SO cycle, take a huge split, and then you do pickups. This is increasingly sounding like a likely scenario, at least to me, and the intentional undercutting of Express also sounds logical given Fred's RLA protection and chance to cut his labor costs with the Ground wage slaves.
