FDX increased efficiency
Seems that scheduling is on a utilization/efficiency push. Anyone experienced increased use of the following lately:
1. calls to voluntarily move r-days to cover trips
2. increase in trip revisions, especially to replace front or back end DH with live legs
3. good deal open time trip revised to real trip shortly after pickup with trip trade
4. reserve trip assignment call out of order
5. calls to voluntarily waive international duty free buffer for trip assignment
I suspect the "can they do that to me?" calls have increased quite a bit lately.
