[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1065116, member: 12508"] They do. I think they were surprised at the employee reaction to the October announcement, and that scared them. I also think that they aren't quite ready to make the Ground shiftover happen, but they are very close. As bbsam has said, Ground isn't expecting a post-Christmas slowdown, and there are other rumblings about very large volume increases over on the Ground side. Fred knows that his profit per package is much higher over at the "non-employee" operation, so he's making every effort to sell Ground as an alternative to Express and to convince shippers to only use Express when it's absolutely necessary. This goes hand-in-hand with the massive improvements in Ground service times. One can never trust what FedEx management says, particularly if it eminates from Memphis. They have reneged on so many commitments to employees and reversed themselves on "firm" decisions that the only thing to really count on is when something actually happens. Come Dec. 26th, it will be back to business as usual, and watch the big accounts at Express start to disappear. There is every indication that Ground is going to take away XS and E2....just a matter of time. [/QUOTE]
