[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 5529114, member: 12508"] You are actually defending FedEx, because the manner in which a package moves and the changes to the role of the employees involved has fundamentally changed. The RLA was written in 1934, well before there was anything like an "Express Carrier". It's always been the case that Fred wanted RLA classification in order to keep the chances of unionizing low. The "national disruption" garbage is pure crap, and you know it. You and Dano might have an argument in regard to the original Federal Express, where actual airplanes did all the linehaul, and CTVs were only used to ferry the product from ramp to station. That business model has been gone for about 40 years now, so perhaps both you and Dano need to work on understanding the term "Systems Integrator", which is what UPS and FedEx both are at the present time. Ground and Express are now one, as Raj has admitted in his now famous "separate silos' comments which torpedoed any pretense of FedEx Express still being an airline. Self-loathing Right Wingers are still going to cling to the idea that this is just a "business innovation" (the FedEx rationale for combined opcos) because you hate unions and still admire Job Creator Fred. You drink deeply of the Kool-Aid, sir. [/QUOTE]
