In case UPS managers come over to mangle FredEx.
" Didn't he have Atlas lined up to fly if you walked?" Nice... Let me guess 30 or so 747s and 500 crew members will cover the daily load of 5000 pilots and 600+ aircraft. Math not your strong suit?
"I also know a number of Ex UPS managers now at Fed Ex." Know any ex FedEx managers at UPS? Me neither! Because......?
Isn't it amazing how UPS can do it with half the planes and pilots? Why because we are able to move alot of it via ground instead of air. Do you think Fred could do that if the pilots walked? Yes. The reason why he doesn't because of the separation between the ground and express. All Atlas would have to do is hub to hub and other contractors and trucks could move to the spokes.
The reason you don't see Fed Ex managers at UPS is because they are probably not good enough.
