[QUOTE="59 Dano, post: 862631, member: 23516"] I completely agree about Freight. It would suit me fine if they got rid of it today, though they're going to either try to make the restructuing work or at least make it work well enough to generate an interested buyer. The quickest way to make things more profitable is to get rid of Express employees, who are the highest paid of any segment. That's the quickest and easiest way. Start with those who are topped out. Get rid of 200 topped out FT hourlies. Replace half of them with new hires and absorb the work of the other 100. Express will add over $5 million to the bottom line with that. Ground's operating profit is 3X that of Express, so you can bet your ass that the heat is on and will stay on. What they want is more volume because we have the labor and infrastructure capacity to handle it. Until then, they're gonna shake every last bit of slack out of the system that they can as an alternative to laying people off, which is the smart business move but a lousy move. [/QUOTE]
