Oh, really!?
However, Lane says that already, many of FedEx's 230,000 U.S. workers are covered by the NLRA and have chosen not to unionize.
The airline division, FedEx Express, has 143,000 workers who are covered by the RLA. "You don't need third party representation at FedEx," he says. "We have a people first culture that creates a much stronger trust between our colleagues and management."

It's newspeak, Knightflyer. You are required to say exactly the opposite of what you mean. For example, you can be assured that when a politician says, "I am not running for president" that they will soon announce their candidacy.

I take back everything I said. Fred is so awesome. His business instincts are unmatched. He is like a tiger.
He never used his daddy's money (almost $100 million in TODAYS DOLLARS) and borrowed the rest from his rich uncles. He did it all singlehandedly.
He is so amazing that women fall to his feet (and some men too it seems <g>) hoping to be ravaged by him.
He is all knowing - even more amazing than Michael Jackson.
We all shall fear him. <vbseg>
ps. Relax guys. I'm not insulting you or any FedEx pilots. In fact, I think that you all accomplished more than he ever would have without his daddy's money.
Plus, he is a whiner! Waa Waa.

Not to mention, the whole FedEx operation is dependent on a flawed business model that looks like its about to come crashing down all around Fred very soon. UPS will probably buy what's left of it and staple the FedEx guys to our list.
FedEx probably only has a few good years left due to Fred's short-sightedness.
Nice Top Gun avatar dude! You are the man!
