I’m not going into the field of business, so I’m really not sure what your point is. We’re talking about YOU. What knowledge do you have of ANY topic other than blowing hot air?
It’s coming...

I have no idea what he’s talking about. I’ve never made any claim to have any kind of business acumen or ability to run a business. That would be like telling someone who doesn’t play an instrument that they shouldn’t try out for a band. Like, thanks for the pointer lol

Your station is about to be different. You’ll be one of the shocked furious ones I guess.
Well FedEx has a little contract with a company called Ozark. They truck their freight long haul. But okay, let’s say for the sake of argument some stations get P2 off the flight with their P1.... your station is still going to run 2 sorts and have P1 routes be part time.
The goal is to make the morning drivers part time. This isn’t going to be exclusive to city stations lol.

That goal is not likely to be reality.
Time will tell. I think it’s company suicide should they go that route. But that’s what they’re doing. With little to no chance at top out. And the ever reduction in decent benefits. The only reason people stay here is the hope of a good day route. It’s the only reason. To get off at 2:30 or 3:30 in the afternoon and enjoy time with your family. Eliminate that and there’s seriously zero reasons to work here.

Since when has the good of the company or its employees made any difference in the decisions Fat Freddy makes? My tenure will be just shy of 4 and 1/2 years, and not only have I yet to see them make a good decision, I’ve yet to see them make one that isn’t pure stupidity.
Depends on the station. In the outlying small stations I cited they may have the in town FT routes do as you say. Extended area FT rts will start early. It's not logistically feasible to do otherwise. With last mile Ground deliveries those FTers are going to get off earlier anyways, saving money. What you're talking about would result in two part time rts as the later rt has to be back by a certain time for reload.
As for Ozark they don't truck next day freight to stations. You're trying to make everything work from your perspective of working in a large station in a large city or metro area. It has never worked the same in smaller outlying stations in small cities/big towns. The company operates according to local conditions. Pickup windows are different. There is no one size fits all and FedEx is trying to increase profit. They aren't going to spend more and lose money rather than go with what works. If you truly believe they would do that I highly recommend you don't go into business for yourself.
You're demonstrating a lack of knowledge about small stations in rural areas. If you want off early at those stations you have to be morning part-time. In big city stations near ramps rts are often delivering by, even before 0800. In stations a ways from the ramp they don't get out of the building until often 0900 or later. Some stations much later. At my last station there was a part-timer who usually was off by 1130. He got about 20 hours a week by working a little longer on Saturday. They can make the 2 sorts work in a station like yours. Won't happen in the stations I'm describing.

That has a familiar ring to it. Where have I heard that before?

The hubs are sorting selected P2 during their P1 sorts. A cost-benefit analysis is performed to determine a station's inclusion/exclusion in this. Those stations that are excluded see no changes.
Or you could have just read the comments on FB or Reddit posts (whichever one you copied the original post from, verbatim) and found out the same thing from those who work at non-split stations in markets that have already launched the RESPONSE program. Maybe you can call up those stations and markets and tell them they aren't really doing what they're doing because it doesn't fit the theory you reposted from FB.
