Why does it have to be a level playing field?

Life isn't fair, some folks are smarter, or luckier when they start a business. FedEx started as an airline, UPS started as a trucking company. FedEx is more of an airline than trucking company and UPS is more of a trucking company than airline. UPS being 50 years older should have done it differently when they started flying airplanes a few years ago.

Play the cards that are in your hand and don't pull any cards out of your sleeve. Sounds like a lot of executives crying "he has a better deal than I do" get over it. One thing is for sure it doesn't involve anyone on this board. I guess it could cost the FedEx guys some advancement if it cost us some 777s in the future.
