[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 602183, member: 12508"] While FedEx has a lot of aircraft, it is not technically an "airline". Both UPS and FedEx are what is known as systems integrators. While it's true that airline operations are a component of both companies they cannot be called "airlines" in the strictest sense of the word. This is a crucial point, because Fred S wants everyone to think that FedEx is strictly an airline...which it isn't. This has allowed him to keep the undeserved RLA "Express Carrier" exemption, the means by which FedEx keeps us from going union and does whatever it wants to us. This is one of the big reasons Fred hasn't taken away our flight benefits. Having them lends legitimacy to his claim that we actually are an airline and strengthens his iron grip over his workers. UPS picks-up and delivers it's air products in essentially the same manner as FedEx, yet they aren't an "airline". Curious, isn't it? [/QUOTE]
