[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1102830, member: 24302"] Not making excuses, just being realistic. Alot of those purchases you mention involve the company taking on debt to pay for them. They don't just pay cash. And new planes and vehicles need to be bought from time to time. He doesn't completely replace our fleet when he purchases new planes, just replaces as needed and the newer purchases are for more economical operating planes. Purchasing new companies, just as in the past, opens up new avenues of growth and profit. They can't all be winners, Kinko's being a prime example. By channeling most of the company's revenue into payroll how are you going to replace needed equipment? Any union negotiations will at some point involve better benefits, especially medical and pension. And I'm assuming you'll have one payscale across the board which would bring up many couriers $12-$15hr above their current pay. So you're going to pay a courier $30,000 more a year on just 40 hrs? Jackpot! As is FedEx could do better by us. But nowhere near what you guys believe they can do. If they operate much like UPS they can do much better, but most of it will most likely go to Ground to keep building them up and making their drivers happier. [/QUOTE]
