Read about it below (they've already changed their First Class delivery time to 2-3 days...as the article from Raider boy said they would...three days ago the website said 1-3 days for First Class stuff):

Matty FYI
We carry a Ton of First Class Mail! If you look in many of the cans of any FDX Airplane on the afternoon outbound flights they are Full of Orange bags. These bags are full of First Class Mail.
We also Carry USPS "Express" Overnight Mail which is a different Product and is carried in Cardboard Envelopes in Plastic Bags very similar to our own Overnight envelopes.
The USPS will still need to ship pretty large amounts of first class mail on us both in the Domestic and International market. Both Express Mail and 2-3 day delivery 1st class mail will still require movement on Aircraft.
As was previously stated, how much this negatively (or not) affects FDX is anybody's guess.
