Hey maybe we should give them some more flexibility in scope in the next TA!

...a bit confusing to use the term "freight" because Express shipments under 150# will go on purple aircraft whenever purple serves a particular point. If FedEx does not serve a point then an Express shipment will go on purple as far as it can then be handed off to a contractor.
Freight shipments on the other hand, those over 150#, won't fly on purple tails and will eventually get passed onto FedEx Freight trucks when they reach North America.
...but you guys knew that! ;-)

That's not quite the same thing as what is being discussed in this thread, which is international scope.
