You really don’t understand exactly what express delivers in revenue
That's a 13 hour drive straight through and you figure it would have to go through at least 3 (maybe 2) hub sorts. Maybe Sunday? But I don't even know if Ground even operates a full network 7 days a week. You read stories of contractors sending guys out with 38 stops on Sundays and losing money so Sundays might just be local volume.

Fact is, every law firm of any consequence has an office of paralegals whose sole job is to look for conflicts of interest.
Find any major legal firm that could handle the massive litigation that has not already represented Fedex in some form or fashion and the conflict presents itself.
Call me an idiot, don't believe what I say, it is a statement of fact.
Ambulance chasers are not lawyers, they are negotiators.

Exactly correct.
The hurdle (for a truthful person) in the end is the USPS contract, which, as far as I know does not involve Fedex couriers.

They're all lawyers, whether they do PI (ambulance chasers) or specialize in something else, money is the Prime Directive. You are correct that the big firms are always looking for fresh meat. I'd guess FedEx is on several radars right now. Please note that Dano has no reply to any of the RLA accusations. He will, but probably has to run it by The VP of Shill.

Wow delivery delivered by 10:00 am Sunday 763 mile Ground delivery, the guy makes $160.00 a day which is totally illegal but of course he works for Allied delivery not FedEx expect Express to rapidly be downsized.

38 years most as RTD Express makes most of the profits and Ground has a slave delivery system.

So it took 2 days to go 763 miles. Wow! That's unbelievable! Lol

My point was express made 11.2 billion last quarter. That will never end

How long would it take for 3,000+ Miles?

I don't disagree, there are ignorant people everywhere.Even if FedEx Express drivers are handling less home delivery volume, it’s hard to see how the company continues to maintain its RLA coverage as it hands off deliveries to Ground, said Deena Merlen, an employment and labor lawyer at Reavis Page Jump LLP. Past court battles have sided with FedEx.
“Not that I have a crystal ball, but it will be very difficult not to reclassify FedEx if it is going to once again get caught up in all kinds of litigation,” Merlen said.
People on this forum are not the only ones who believe FedEx is pushing the boundaries of the RLA status.
Will FedEx Express linking with Ground make union organizing easier for employees?
A new link between FedEx Express and FedEx Ground won't be enough to lower the high bar Express employees have to organize, FedEx said.www.commercialappeal.com
There are decades and decades of past decisions pertaining to this issue and others like it with FedEx and other employers. Why aren't those who think that Express is misclassified citing any of it? Or the text of the RLA itself?

At Amateur Night at the Law School, our pride and joy posited his usual nonsense, most glaringly:
How could someone so wrapped up in this not know that the legal system has already been there, done that, and bought the t-shirt? ROTFLMAO!!!
LOL, no. The courts have already ruled on this. You're paying for a service commitment and all associated fees -- not a method of transportation.

"Hey, Jim. Let's go look at the message board and see if we can drum up some business! There's this guy, MrFedEx, and man he's sharp. We'd better jump on those cases PRONTO! Else he'll take them on himself!"

How much effort should I put into replying to things that don't make any sense?

How they dispense a portion of that could.
Likely not going to change, courrier's have proven for over 25 years to be nutless.

Post the link to the Court of Appeals case that you claim cements FedEx's designation as an airline.
Fedex was not a party, their business model at that time was used in the reasoning for the opinion the court delivered.
Facts, relied upon in the decision making have changed.
The only fact that remains constant is that Federal Express was founded and incorporated as an airline under RLA designation.
We can bust each other's balls on other matters, just supply my request for the Appeals Court case and I will line by line explain the Court's reasoning and how it does not support today's reality.
I have said previously the only way this will be settled is if FedEx, formerly Federal Express is a named respondent.
I already know your first dodge, I'm steps ahead of you.
@Fred's Myth is correct, the ruling is antiquated, it does not comply with the current business model.
Call a legal boy, hopefully he/she/it, whatever? doesn 't start the billable hour clock on you.

Revenue or profit?

He said made, that means revenue.
Profit is what's left after you guys grow a pair.
No pair, a larger portion of that revenue is retained as profit.
You understand that though.

Unless I’m reading the wrong charts, FedEx had $1.3B in profit last quarter. Revenue was $23.6B.
Either way, many people see big numbers and don’t even understand what they’re talking about.
I’m certainly not defending the company on how poopy they treat employees, mind you. Just trying to get clarification on where that $11B number came from.
