[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 5540442, member: 12508"] Again, how does FedEx Express remain an "airline" and under The RLA when a MUCH higher percentage of it's operations have ZERO to do with an airline? For the one thousandth time, how is another FDX opco legally a "Third party"? FDX manages both and is trying to pretend one is "independent". Sure. Also, aren't you the same person that said nothing was changing and that nobody was losing their job? Remember "Express couriers are still delivering Express boxes"? Maybe some are still moving the FO and P1, but many jobs are just going away, Express stations are literally [I]combining facilities [/I]with Ground and you pretend it's still the same basic company. Raj's separate silos are now both on Farmer Smith's farm, managed by Farmer Smith, and maintained by Farmer Smith. The corn arrives and departs by trucks, some owned by Farmer Smith but ALL ultimately managed by Farmer Smith (and Farmer Raj). Every once in awhile a plane flies over the farm, but there's not an airport within 100 miles, yet Farmer Smith gets to say his farm is really an airline and that all the workers on the farm have to pretend they work for an airline. Sorry, I'm not buying your Yugo. [/QUOTE]
