Fedex is slowly shifting to ground package handling, sorting, and delivery over air overnight. The two segments will remain, but make no mistake, FedEx is pumping much of it’s investment in growth into ground service.

Agreed, but UPS won't give that up without a fight, and even the USPS is willing to lose money on deals with Red China and Amazon to keep the volume up. Amazon might also be interested in seamless logistics from order to delivery that they control. They ARE good at that.
