FedEx is not taking on any new customers so it doesnt benefit them that much.
The US Postal Service is probably benefitting the most of anyone, package deliveries
are up over 70% since the strike began. I hear that some of the smaller
airlines are picking up a lot of business. Also, in today's news it looks
like there is a possibility that UPS pilots may strike near Christmas and
an estimate from today's Washington Post says that if this strike does last
a long time through Christmas which is unlikely right now the GDP could
drop by .5% in the US. 1 out of every 300 workers in the US is employed by
UPS.
