MASS would have superiority and shot-calling authority over the entire industry at once.
One union is a unicorn fantasy in the PAX industry.
However, if there will only ever be two oxen pulling the wagon, we can either fight with each other, or we can cooperate, and use our combined brute force to turn on the man holding the whips and chains, dominating him with impunity in perpetuity.
That said, a Fighter 2-ship will always be more effective against an enemy than a 1-ship. The way it ought to be working now is that we want the other other Super Dog to get a contract that is WAY better than our contract. Then we go to our Master and say we want a contract that is WAY better than the other Dogs'. And so on, and so on...

Also, he knows that 99.9% of the forum members here don't respect him as a man…and why should we? Scab=no conscience, no honor, no integrity. If a man doesn't have these qualities, what good is he?

Here's your guaranteed, take it to the bank, predicted announcement date for the Postal contract. Our Purple brothers say it's "shortly." Can't get more certain than that. I figure the contract attorneys on retainer at USPS can squeeze another week's worth of billable hours out of this deal, especially with the Saturday delivery issue. $250 X 40 hours=$10k of easy money for them. I bet shortly means by the end of next week, or by April 26th.
FedEx Corp. said it expects a decision “shortly” from The U.S. Postal Service on whether it will continue providing domestic air transportation services for its First-Class, Priority and Express Mail services.
The Memphis-based shipping giant disclosed that it anticipates a contract announcement soon in its most recent quarterly regulatory filing.
The U.S. Postal Service has solicited proposals for the delivery of these services after FedEx Express’ current contract ends in Sept. 2013. FedEx warned that the services could be transitioned to another provider, and that even if the Memphis-based company does retain the contract, the terms and conditions of the new arrangement may be “less favorable.”
FedEx also said that any changes in the Postal Service’s operations, network, services offerings or pricing could have an adverse result on FedEx’s financial results. Because the independent government agency is both a customer and a vendor for FedEx, the Postal Service’s financial struggles could also have an adverse impact on FedEx.
The Postal Service has said it could run out of money if Congress does not allow it to change its business model and increase profitability. Yesterday, The Postal Service said it would not end Saturday delivery of first-class mail, citing Congressional opposition.

The whole back and forth on the Saturday delivery issue is partially to blame for the delay, but really it is the post office... I'm sure the announcement is in the mail. I say it will be announced by the end of April, but I'm not willing to commit to a specific year.
