Ready or not the feces hit's the fan 6-1. Yep, easy to see this one coming .
Money losing rural boxes out in the bum fornications will go to contractors while easy in town stuff will stay with Express.
Bezos was smart . He dumped his rural junk onto the mail to haul out to the jing weeds.
Contractors whose tires have never come in contact with an unpaved surface are in for a whole new life experience.
It will be fine

It literally says building capacity will be the primary determining factor in what buildings close. Legacy express buildings are typically smaller and don’t have the capacity to handle Ground volume.

You seem to believe " building capacity " means volume only. With FedEx it means a combination of volume and service. It also clearly states Legacy buildings will do both Express and Ground. The term Legacy is being used for both Express and Ground buildings.

There's also the issue of logistics of getting Express freight from the Hubs/ramps to those Ground stations in time to make service.
No problem. Just do what they're doing at the barn I was at. Just kick the Ground grunts outside to load up in the rain while their boxes get soaked while the letter and jewelry box "courier" stay nice and dry.

Looks like they bit off more than they can chew, as usual they will fail and lose billions.... once again.

Both former express and ground buildings will be handling everything. They will realign the area each building services. They aren’t going to close a Ground building that can run 100k inbound packages a day and stuff it into an Express building that can handle 15k. They aren’t going to keep only Express buildings around, that’s the point. Legacy Express buildings can’t physically handle Ground volume. Ground buildings can handle both.

It clearly stated Express Legacy buildings will be doing both. Ground can't handle time commitments and pickups. They know it and that's why they're having to change their plans.

I just want to make friends!
It clearly stated that Ground legacy buildings will be doing both.
What you think Smith's release means and what it really means are not the same thing.

Given that the new fiscal year starts 6-1 perhaps some investors with large stock holdings a getting impatient when it comes to expected and promised improved operating results.
This is like one great big Chinese fire drill. Another " just do something" type of exercise. Come 6-1 it will be case where nobody knows who supposed to go where or who delivers what or who controls what area.
Remember contractor proprietary rights?.....That's long gone. Now you're just another asset to be utilized for the company's benefit. Just like old days. If it best served the company on a given day....you were a contractor.....If it best served the company on another day...you were an employee and bossed around like one......And no two days were exactly the same.

What it means is they have no clear plan. That's been evident since day 1
I bet old Johnny Dollar Sign doesn't know either. Talk a closer look....he's trash talking.

I have been in both buildings, Ground buildings are much larger and newer, more efficient. FedEx ‘s business was never rocket science contrary to the story portrayed in the press. The only way to save money is get rid of Express buildings. Using both Ground and Express buildings is just another FedEx gaslighting that is standard practice. Whatever is cheaper will be the course, the problem Ground is not ready and never will be ready with the compensation they are paid.

I disagree. Once upon a time, FedEx AND Federal Express did Overnight, Economy and Express Service very well. Problem is, people at the top got greedy and too ambitious causing them to lose sight of what made both companies great…. Superior customer service and PSP. They also got “too big for their britches” and thought they could hire executives from outside of the company for “fresher ideas” who had no idea of the culture of FedEx and how important it was for morale and loyalty of the employees, which had kept FedEx in business so long. That began the slow, painful downfall of FedEx.

Having a efficient sorting system doesn't mean
when you don't have the the workforce to do UPS type routes for peanuts.

And it clearly stated Express Legacy buildings will be doing both. One thing is crystal clear and that is FedEx is nowhere near being clear about it's plans.
