Suggestion - Forum Split
Since there is such a preponderance of posts by Fedex & UPS types about their specific company related issues here wouldn't it be advantageous to have sub-groups for these two entities? Seems that there is a lot of intra-company banter here that is not relevant to "Cargo" operations most of the other operators.
I mean after all what does the bidding/basing/vacation issues and the deification of some of their crewmembers have to do with "Cargo"? The UPS/Fedex groups have an entirely different set of issues to deal with than all the other "lower tiered" (read - bottom feeders) cargo operators.
I don't know if there is any specific company related sites that these two groups could use. From the tenor of their conversations I take that they see this as an "open" forum without having to suffer the onus of reprisals that they might face on their respective company sites.
I have no interest in the inner workings & machinations or politics of either UPS or Fedex. I do not find the bulk of these posts as having any relevance to the rest of the freight/cargo world.
It would be my hope that the UPS/Fedex types here would welcome their own arena where they would not have to be bothered with what they might construe as the irrelevant rhetoric of the other "bottom feeders"
Having separate forums for these two would also avoid the whole "Major/Cargo" dispute.
This suggestion is forwarded with no intent to inflame the delicate sensibilities of any one group or individual. It was not made with any intent to invoke a flame war. I just think this forum should adhere more to the applicability of "Cargo" issues.
