Fat Freddy's right. Ground contractors can't wait until the middle of the morning for late flights to arrive with Express letters. Ground is the money cow and notice that he mentioned cutting wages.He sees how little contractor employees make and therefore Express delivery grunts should not expect much in terms of upward movement pay wise.Fred S Created FedEx. Now He Has to Reinvent It.
& a quick quip on how naturally Ground and Express intergration would make sense but no it can't happen for blah, blah, blah, reason.
Ground will be running a second dispatch in most buildings in the near future.Fat Freddy's right.

This is a race to the bottom of the cheap freight rate business. There ere are no winners, only a handful of survivors.
What good's that going to do when you've got 10 AM delivery deadlines?Ground will be running a second dispatch in most buildings in the near future.

All I got out of our last meeting was basically:Neither can Express operations. Luckily, it's not an issue unless you count your personal fanstasyland where the flights all launch 4 hours late.
Express is now hiring casuals with no benefits. Express raises will come partly at the expense of casuals.
Hard to disagree. Ground will run 7 days a weeks. Ground will mimick Daily UPS volume on a route, but for much less in the way of hourly rate, benefits, pension. Also, heard mention of legit drones in the mid Atlantic region actually delivering Express parcels.Fat Freddy's right.

Interesting.. So maybe his plan will work and judging by how filled Ground is OOOppps may have to re-look at their union based company..All I got out of our last meeting was basically:
1) TNT roll out software integration has been a disaster. Once it's better, things will improve.
2) Planes will be streamlined, sold, taken out of service, etc. No half full flights, too expensive.
3) Vacation bidding is mandatory because it creates open routes for all the Swing Drivers.
4) Casuals will be here to do resi & re attempts.
5) Step progression raise is not gone,just froze this yr
Pure speculation.Step progression will stay frozen next year will be worse.
Or last as long as the Earth’s previous ice age.Step progression will stay frozen next year will be worse.
Amazon will have their own planes in more cities not speculation.
How can they have MORE of their own planes when they don't have any of their own planes?
Amazon leases their freighter fleet, and contracts Atlas Air (and others) to operate them. The speculation has been that they will eventually amass a large fleet and probably start buying aircraft at some point. I know they've had numerous negotiations with Boeing about purchases.
Their fleet has grown substantially over the last few years, so Fred's empire could possibly be even more endangered than it already is Mr. Apologist.
He's calling for his sponge bath. Better go.
They don't have a fleet.
Your obsession with Fred's body is unhealthy.
Fred and the other used car salesman from Arkansas are in big trouble and they know it.
