It’s coming...

[It will be fine]

Is that why FedEx was offering ground pricing on 2day ? This LMO is just another desperate attempt to throw * on the wall to see if it sticks.

I don’t see why you think it’s desperate. It saves Express money and flight capacity.

No it doesn't. It would need to be done on a massive scale and basically in every market to make a difference in flight capacity. This last quarter earnings had nothing to do with LMO.

No idea what kind of scan. Not my job to know it.

Just wondering what you said would happen could be possible.

Not your job to make pronouncements either. When you figure it out get back to us.

 

[floridays]

No it isn't out of to ask.

Conglomerate, mostly tech and logistics.

Thanks, I'm glad the question wasn't out of order.
Is it out of order to ask if you left either with a non compete clause?

If you lead a customer to believe he's paying premium prices for premium service, and then use your cut rate service to do the work, and the cut rate service screws up an important shipment, your brand at the very least suffers an embarrassment that may lose you business.

True.

At worst a savvy lawyer might put together a class action suit representing a bunch of very unhappy customers. Even if the company wins(they can do anything they like I hear)you can bet their competitors will get a lot of mileage out of it. And please don't tell me it'll never happen because FedEx has been used many times over the years.

What are you talking about? If Ground takes on an Express delivery and misses the guaranteed service commitment, the customer gets his money back. The end. Have you ever read the service guide?

 

[vantexan]

True.

Two different issues. You two have been saying that FedEx can charge Express prices but have Ground handle the entire process with no chance of negative ramifications. If so FedEx would already be doing that. They aren't.

 

[59 Dano]

Doubt it. Making it's largest opco even less profitable is a recipe for disaster.

Subbing out operations to a cheaper party makes it more profitable, not less.

I'm telling you what they're doing and why. If someone wants to deny reality because he can't make it make sense in theory, have at it.

Neither had me sign one, though neither would have been able to enforce it if I did.

I said there are no legal ramifications.

I understand the plan, I simply asked how.
@vantexan offered a way how but you specifically mentioned "at the Hubs" his attempt didn't address that. I've been around, heard a lot of (by upper mgmt) don't buy most, it's based on their track record.

In theory it sounds great, in practice it does not happen until someone tells me exactly what action will cause it to happen.

Not possible as you said.

Who exactly put his name to the proclamation you made?

 

[floridays]

Neither had me sign one, though neither would have been able to enforce it if I did.

That gives me an idea of the level of your employment in the company. Thanks.

 

[floridays]

I said there are no legal ramifications.

Not yet.
Why not?
Think it out.
Report back.

At what point in this transaction did the airline classification end?

 

[bacha29]

The only ownership in this equation is of his ass by Fat Freddy.

All it takes is a stroke of the pen and his so called "company" goes "poof" which in turn explains why he is so beholding to Fedex . Something that he has finally admitted.

 

[59 Dano]

Not yet.
Why not?
Think it out.
Report back.

It's already been beaten to death here. If you haven't figured it out after it's been explained 10 times, I don't think there's any magic in explaining it an 11th.

 

[59 Dano]

It didn't.

 

[floridays]

It didn't.

Is Fedex ground an airline?

 

[59 Dano]

Is Fedex ground an airline?

No, and it isn't covered under the RLA.

 

[AB831]

No, and it isn't covered under the RLA.

And Fat Freddy can thank the Lord above that the Republicans kept the senate because Express wouldn’t be either should the political winds have blown much further leftward
