Likely, though I hate to admit it.

Ground will be taking over express operations throughout the next few years, but a merger is still quite a ways out.

Internally, your beloved Ground Support Staff, is being told not to buy any thing expensive or plan to spend a lot this Holiday Season... Not sure what that means yet, though.

We are going to get screwed even when we are making money and lots of it?!? The only time we have been in the red, recently, is when they wrote off a ton of money on the Fedex office debacle. Sounds like the executives have effed up more than the pilots.

What is a fair buy out on the pension plan?
