[QUOTE="PoirotAtUPS, post: 5874236, member: 104493"] They were kept for efficiency - automation isn’t cost effective for rural settings. The challenge remains that for just shy of two months out of the year the network has to process > 20% more volume. If you build a network that runs at less than 80% utilized 8 months of the year - costs are too high. The analysts understand this - they aren’t balking at the 3 year revenue targets (they aren’t that aggressive). They see the cost problem hasn't been addressed for the network. An automated network exacerbates the capacity/utilization equation because it’s more expensive. [/QUOTE]
