[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 990535, member: 22880"] It is obvious that 19 B767s have a greater cargo carrying capability than 4 B777s. What the article missed (completely) is that Express is radically reorganizing its line haul capability. The "bet" is that international volumes between Asia and the US will drop (and stay low, thus the cut B777 orders) and that the line haul system in the US needs to be radically altered to account for expected lower volumes within the US domestic market for the foreseeable future (the B767s to accelerate replacement of MD10s). FedEx has already made its bet regarding the US air cargo market - it is shrinking and won't come back. So the same question is continually begged - "Why in the hell is FedEx pushing its Couriers for "leads", when the company itself has already made a commitment to a smaller Express?" The answer has already been given. I also mentioned before that FedEx stock is seen as a good bet - and will most likely start to skyrocket starting October of this year, through 2013. Since your fellow wage employees won't organize, you'd might as well buy the stock and make some money that way - you definitely won't be making money with your labor while at Express. [/QUOTE]
