[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 728198, member: 12508"] I was just trying to make myself "think like Fred" and I came-up with this idea. What better way to "prove" that your company is an "airline" (not a pkg delivery company) than by buying a bunch of planes just before the RLA decision. Fred is always pleading poverty, but he miraculously is able to buy all of these planes. Every announcement boldly states "New 777's ordered by[I] World's Largest All-Cargo Airline", [/I]and not "[I]World's Largest Overnight [B]DELIVERY SERVICE". [/B][/I]There's a big difference in the verbage, and don't think for a moment it's unintentional. Sorry, Fred, but we are a delivery company that uses airplanes, not an airline that uses trucks. What is our primary function at FedEx? To deliver packages, primarily with a huge fleet of vehicles, including thousands of semis that move an awful lot of that "airline" volume. The Propaganda Machine keeps on pumping it out, doesn't it? [/QUOTE]
