Yea our reduction in flying has nothing to do with UPS. Network 2.0 will involve more trucking via Ground/Freight/LTL at the expense of reduced flight hours. Further, an overhaul of which aircraft we fly to certain destinations will be evaluated. Not to mention an overhaul to our bid packs SS said would be coming. Will be interesting to see. These past two and a half years have been all hands on deck and write the check for whatever was needed to keep the operation moving. Now that demand has gone back to normal, FedEx has to follow suit. But by no means is the sky falling here.
