[QUOTE="Maui, post: 4907034, member: 45037"] The automation part makes sense. The hubs are a huge bottleneck and they can't get staffing in Memphis even when paying $20/hr. Automation is also needed at FXG sort facilities. Earnings call has 16 new sort centers with a move toward some smaller buildings strategically placed for shorter transport and a large hub in metro LA. For Express that probably means more LMO as the call specifically mentioned making Express more Express. This should take some burden off Indy and MEM to improve linehaul and remove some P2 stops from the stations. There were a couple mentions about expanded overnight capabilities from Europe to USA. RESPONSE provides that with the CDG-IND flight. Not sure how that fits with moving more to LMO so the future of REPONSE is interesting. From a pay perspective I'm confident that we will see a step increase. Would be nice if it's more, but the steps represent decent raises and that HAS to get back on track. Even 10 steps is too many, but these are like 5% raises. We also need to see something for RTD to make it more competitive. Freight is starting some people at or near top pay and had a 16% margin this quarter. Express will not attract or retain class A without doing even more than a step and I think the money and priority needs to be used there. [/QUOTE]
