I don't think I've ever seen an airline live up to that.
No- it's the contract- i have no doubt fdx would have furloughed by now if the contract didn't mitigate it. give credit where it's due.
No kidding and I worked for Newt during my undergrad.Thanks Bush and all you red necks who supported him.
They could also use blimps, which FedX explored once, and electronic transmissions (ZAPMAIL). However, FedX's core business was built using Airplanes that operated in an "Airline" type operation. Like an Airline, it was and still is a "Service" business. The "high-yield" service, an "Airline" term, was carriage of Overnight Letters, payrolls, and later, Just-In-Time inventories for "Time-Sensitive" Customers. This initial and still major part of FEDEX poducts/services can only be accomplished utilizing "Airplanes!" Railroad cars would not work across time zones over night.Fredex and UPS are logistic companies that involve transportation, shipping, and short term storage.
Brilliant! Passenger "Airlines" are also logistic companies that involve transportation, shipping, and short term storage. Passenger "Airlines" like Cargo "Airlines" provide a service as their product. Both type "Airlines" serve customers that have either "time sensitive" or "price sensitive" needs, and sometimes a combination of both. Although there are many differences in these type "Airlines," there are more similarities.
They are not airlines.
That depends on the definition of "airlines." What is "is"? They are not a "passenger" airline. However, they fly airplanes through hubs on a schedule under 121 rules. And, more importanly, they can pack alot more revenue in the same volume of space that a passenger occupies at a "passenger" airline.
They could just as easily buy railroad cars and do the same thing. They are able to remake themselves where no true airline could ever venture.
FedEx actually charges a premium for a superior product -- neither concept is part of the WN business plan. When FedEx starts coming into places with predatory pricing and destroying other companies you'll have a point. Until then you don't.
