Clarifying Labor: RLA should be TLA

“Fascinating! Thanks for sharing those numbers! Hopefully you can use this information to keep putting the pressure on FedEx to consolidate their networks, as the greater reliability and lower costs will improve service for everyone, shippers and recipients alike. I truly don’t understand why they are so adamant about remaining stuck in the past and refusing to adapt.”
