This will certainly be in the billions before all is said and done and if this commitment isn’t reflected in its quarterly results, then the controllable loss is actually greater than reported. Congress and the American people have lost their appetite for the poor service and constant closure threat Steiner and Doug Tulino are offering up as status quo solutions to their financial dilemma. In their world scores are up and a little cash from congress will make everything better. Volume continues to fall in the categories that pay the freight, and Steiner wants to keep raising prices unabated, further chasing volume away. There’s no discussion of the major reforms needed to keep price increases at bay, like five day delivery and trimming the fat at the top. Steiner’s tenure has been a failure and will be remembered for cutting service and begging for money to preserve the status quo, which isn’t going to get it done. Why he’s still there is a mystery to even the casual observer.
