Thankfully the USPS doesn’t have their own fleet of planes….could you just imagine the clowns they would hire and train as pilots….those clowns would make Harrison Ford look like Chuck Yeager!
the post office should go out and purchase a fleet of 800 Boeing 747’s and let their diversity crowd pilot them………that would be a hoot. still, would bet they would lose a billion faster than a falling 747.
I told my in-plant gal to stuff tha sacks with bulk rate mail. FedEx gonna carry everything. It’s already paid for.
USPS should pursue a new business deal with FedEx,as well as,UPS,in which missed deliveries;could be retrieved at the nearest Postal-Station. Such a delivery arrangement,should be strictly at a FedEx or UPS’s,customers request. FedEx and UPS,are apparently looking to be business-originating only shippers,as they have both closed;many of their relatively new retail-stores,as well as,other authorized retail shipping points. Meanwhile,despite several rounds of closures,the POSTAL-STATIONS;remain in virtually”Every Town U.S.A.”!!
