Spoke with Benjamin last night on the way to the hotel. After years of exceptional service to FedEx aircrews, Manfred was notified by a simple email about the changes to his contract. Manfred and Benjamin have provided the best transportation service in the entire system, bar none. To simply get an email after that many years of dedicated exceptional service is a disgrace.

I have been to CGN many times. The driver is different every time and there is no continuity such as we have with Manfred and Benjamin. The CGN contract is up for renewal next March. Also Lufthansa Cargo is legally contesting the FRA curfew issue so that may be resolved in the future. Some variables still in play but as of right now, 95% of Manfred's FedEx business will go away at the end of June.
