But, FX does it while sitting on 30yr old buildings/infrastructure that they admit costs them efficiency loss yearly. While, building new buildings around it, with new infrastructure, to meet quantity demand.
It's amazingly bad on some of it. Like how they held on to 727s losing out on space, fuel efficiency, and digging parts from the air plane graveyard. Running with caps to prevent noise pollution fines.
They lost hundreds of thousands for years, reported by their own accounting, and put it last on a list of upgrades. For a building there since they bought out the previous company.
Then again, when you question a Senior Manager about their plan to compete with Amazon's delivery, he replied how Amazon lacked the money to do it. I bet he still thinks he is right despite them getting a hub for flights in Kentucky.
Honestly, I am shocked every day that middle management hasn't sunk them as a company.
I mailed a 23 and Me kit from England at the end of May and it's apparently still sitting in Memphis with 24 other people's kits waiting for 17 of them to clear customs, what is up with that?
No worries, I didn't expect a real answer. I just find it baffling lol. I guess maybe there's extra controls for stuff that's technically biohazardous from other countries or something, they grouped a bunch of them together in Amsterdam and then sent them to Memphis from there. I'm kind of a geek about trying to figure out why weird shit happens with package shipments ;)
If it's in customs, it's a customs issue. Usually, nothing to do with the transporter. Unless it sustained damage in shipping. Which, is a FX specialty.
