I smell what you're steppin' in too...

Can you still throw a pigskin a quarter mile?
 
Don't forget that FedEx just started the international postal contract last summer. Read between the lines.

What international postal contract??
 
the seven year contract is domestic mail. US international mail is a different contract which fedex took over last summer from DHL.

c'mon fly...............stirring the pot about something you have little knowledge of other than reading a 4 year old press release isn't the best way to "probe". To answer your question, FedEx's 98+% reliability rate provided to the post office is well ahead of their 95% goal. USPS has actually shown a profit since this contract took effect. FedEx isn't going to lose this contract.

Since what you say makes perfect sense, look for the Gubermint to do the exact opposite.

Don't forget the Mitch Mcconnell is the senior senator from Kentucky and I think the #2 Senator or some such position.

But Bill Frist is the Senate majority leader, so we have that going for us.

Take this for what you will, but I was there and personally heard it with my own ears. Late last year I was in a company workshop and one of the speakers was the president of UPS Airlines. A question was raised asking if UPS would go after the postal contract when it expires. He answered by saying that UPS was VERY interested in bidding on the contract. So much so, he said that UPS' bid would be so "competetive" that if UPS did not get the contract, whoever would get it would not make a dime. He said that UPS now realizes how much revenue the contract brings in and they definately want it.

I gotta ask.. if UPS was so interested in the contract why didn't they go after it in the first place? One thing to talk about it at a "workshop", whole different animal to actually execute it.
