I would have guessed just 3 percent 😉

FedEx predicts 12 percent increase in holiday shipments
FedEx predicts that shipments from Black Friday - the day after Thanksgiving - through Christmas Eve will rise 12.4 percent over last year.
With online shopping growing, FedEx is bracing for record volumes this holiday season.

Online purchases and an extra day to the 2015 season will drive the gain, FedEx said.

Since 10% was good enough for them, I guess it'll be good enough for me. I can't see myself flying any draft this peak. Just don't feel much like doing any favors. No judgment on those that do. Personally, I would feel a little dirty for some reason.
I think I'll spend max time at home. Maybe see if I can drop (won't hold my breath).

With the utter horse crap of dumping stbys in open time in order to deny drops due to " insufficient reserves", a condition un remedied by the ta and apparently not important enough for 57% of our group to vote NO, my attitude towards helping out the company remains pretty poor.
Ps. If you haven't looked at the implementation schedule, you should. Most of the heralded QOL "gains" are tbd on the spreadsheet.

Yup. Looked at that yesterday. I wonder how much more $$ I'll get payroll deducted for deviation expenses between now and summer-fall 2016---ish, TBD, whatever, when the new bank rules are supposed to kick in?That's to allow for "programming", right? I'll be happy to keep track of the 50% left that is supposed to roll over to the next month on plain old paper until they get the 'puters all sorted out. Anyone offer that up as an option?....
