Had a management jumpseater on board a few days back (after the reuters article) and she thought FDX would end up doing a postal like contract with DHL. DHL trucks pick it up at your house/business then it goes on FDX airplanes until another DHL truck drops it off. She said FDX doesn't want/need any trucks/planes or stores, let alone more employees.
Thats what I heard. I didn't make it up.
