[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5388880, member: 58386"] Spot on The situation has deteriorated to the point where from a contractor's perspective there's nothing to fight for or over now. There will be some who might be able to carry on for awhile longer than other's but the overall prospects are clearly in a downward trajectory. When you combine a recession with loss of market share and lower on time service than competitors and facing the prospect of a permanent loss of system capacity if that doesn't move that company to come to the understanding that the bloom is coming off the rose then by the time they finally move on it the damage will have already been done. That company even going back to the Roadway days has always tightly embraced the management style known as "desperation management" When the situation gets desperate enough they'll do something about it. By the looks of it they believe that the situation isn't desperate enough yet.....We'll see in a few months. [/QUOTE]
