FedEx preparing to cancel jet orders
This, from yesterday's Wall Street Journal...FedEx is preparing to cancel billions of dollars in new aircraft orders over a bill pending in Congress to make unionizing easier. It raises the stakes with rival UPS and the Teamsters, who reportedly have been trying to organize FedEx for a number of years, the article says.
This, combined with its financial problems, combined with possible layoffs, and you've almost got a dinosaur sitting out at the airport.
E.C. :)

Thanks for focusing attention on this. I have been suggesting for roughly 2 years now that FedEx was ultimately going to have to re-visit its plans in the Greensboro area because of a declining economy, but more importantly, the nature of the change in our economy.
It is as if the local leaders have turned a blind eye to the issue.
