Indeed. Don't forget 3D printing or other tech advances that can and will change the way people do business. The future's uncertain and the end is always near...

Segment Results

Quarterly revenues at FedEx Express were $6.98 billion, up 3% year over year. Growth was driven by acquisitions and expanded FedEx Trade Networks, offset by lower fuel surcharges.
Operating income was up 11% year over year at $460.0 million in the fourth quarter, resulting in an operating margin of 6.6%, up 50 bps from 6.1% in the year-ago quarter. The improvement was aided by the favorable impact of capacity reductions, time lags related to fuel surcharge, and other cost reduction initiatives.
The FedEx International Priority (IP) average daily package volume increased 2% for the quarter and revenue per package (yield) increased 1% due to the unfavorable impact of lower rates.

FedEx Ground revenues increased 12% year over year to $2.78 billion in the fourth quarter attributable to volume growth. Operating income was up 13% year over year at $557 million and operating margin increased 10 bps to 20.1%. Higher volumes and revenue per package was partially negated by intercompany costs related to business realignment programs.
FedEx Ground average daily package volume increased 10% driven by increased eCommerce activities. Revenue per package grew 2%. FedEx SmartPost average daily volume expanded 25% and net revenue per package decreased 7% because of higher postal rates.

FedEx Freight revenues were down 1% year over year to $1.39 billion in the fourth quarter, reflecting a drop of 3% in LTL (less-than-truckload) shipments. Yield was, however, up by 1% due to improvement in FedEx Freight cost structures. The segment recorded operating income of $81 million, flat year over year. Operating margin was 5.8%, which also remained unchanged on a year-over-year basis.
FedEx Services revenues fell 6% year over year to $406.0 million in the fourth quarter.

UPS said earnings were skewed by a mark-to-market, non-cash, after-tax charge of $3 billion related to pension values. It noted the charge did not affect cash flows. On an adjusted basis, the Atlanta-based delivery giant said it earned 2012.

In other words, the OPERATING profit, before funding pensions was $3.8 billion, or roughly $1.7 billion more than FDX, or 44% more, while UPS revenue is only 23% higher.

Sometimes it appears harder to offend radical Islamists than you guys. Anytime anybody says anything that doesn't glorify FDX, the cyber jihad begins...sheesh.
I know it is a snapshot for that year and 2011 is a more realistic comparison. My only point is you said the difference was a small number, it is not, UPS numbers for revenue are larger by a lot.

If the chosen metric is profit, which even in what appears to be a religious institution does matter, 23% more revenue but 44% more profit will likely drive a change in religious doctrine...or business model, and that driver will be in an 18 wheeler.

But no doubt company negotiators have already mentioned that at the table...just sayin.

It's up because they are going to be cutting more of the airline and using deferred delivery methods instead.

You're right Sideshow, the light at the end of the tunnel for FedEx ALPA is the headlights of an 18 wheeler, but we've got too many purple kool aid drinkers to realize it.

Oh.... and quit talking bad about FedEx. We have better facilities and catering than you do.
