Хаб Федэкса в Мемфисе

[borislvin]

capka3m рассказывает о потрясающем. Вот это и есть прогресс цивилизации.

Самолеты начинают прибывать в хаб около 11 ночи, а в 2:30 сортировка заканчивается. За это время меняются экипажи, смена разгружает 170 самолетов, сортирует всю трансконтинентальную почту с лейблом next day delivery, и загружает ее обратно в самолеты.

Yep. I think there was a Harvard business case on USPS - how they tried to pull their head out of their own a$$, and somewhat succeeded, but with no competition they are sliding back. Also, they are a union shop, so that makes any change very tough.

What's funny, though, FedEx ever since its founding in 1973 never (!) laid people off: they downsized only by offering incredibly generous packages. Their part-time sorters (the ones that work night shift) have full benefits. Etc. So their workers never even contemplated getting a union...
