Simply put a single simple JavaScript line like this:
For (wdl = 0; del < del.OnTime; wdl ++);
Return wdl();
FYI I left fdx to go code 9 months ago.

They will lose their RLA exemption if that happens. I say go for it.

Our station rolled our entire 2nd wave packages 2 days in a row this week. Hours are through the roof and can’t even get on road at a decent time for wave 1.

We have the house, senate and presidency. Taking freight that is flown on a plane and handing it to Ground is definitely grounds to eliminate the RLA.

But we saw this coming long time ago, back when MrFEDEX use to post here daily. I predict, before peak, all express will be part time with the option to work for ground for FT.They will lose their RLA exemption if that happens. I say go for it.

Not going to happen. That's too much too fast. Ground can't even handle what they have now and there is no way Express employees will go to ground. My guess is right now they are in panic mode and throwing anything at the wall to see if it sticks.
I’ve thought from the beginning this “response” plan was a planned demolition. Designed to fail in order to justify moving more freight to ground. The company hates P2... they don’t want it sorted, flown, or delivered by express employees. This would be a good excuse to move more of it to ground.They will lose their RLA exemption if that happens. I say go for it.

There's no way for Ground to handle Express freight without it being flown on planes. If Express implodes, the whole company goes.

I ran into a former manager of mine at the supermarket. He told me that in many cases those shipping P1s understand that delivery may not make service. They get a discount in exchange for giving up the money back guarantee as long as delivery occurs on the scheduled day. Later than that, they get their money back. Sounds a little wacko.
But they sure seem to love flying it to the destination station and having ground come get it.

Okay, you don't understand how LMO works.
LMO works by ingesting Ground at THE ORIGIN STATION!
Unless you're talking about the rumor....

Our station had a non-Origin station LMO letter a couple of days ago.
No one knew what kind of split we were supposed to use for it so they just box scanned it, tossed it in a bag and sent it on to our ramp.

All LMO packages are supposed to never be put on a plane. This is a way to get around the RLA exemption. If the company is planning on Ground taking and del air freight, the company will eventually lose that exemption.

Great. Does that mean we can now have a Union.

A wiseman once told me express is allotted through the RLA, a small percentage of flown volume to hand off to ground.
It will be fine

How do most air cargo companies handle final mile delivery of their freight? I would assume it gets contracted out to ground transportation carriers.
