My prediction is they will put out a decent raise. This will buy him more time to run the stock up and most people will be appeased by the raise some will even begin to sing accolades of xpo again . The mean time benefit cuts will continue a little at a time to drive
the O/R lower. Remember right now its all about the O/R and the appearance to share holders . Go and listen to the 4th qtr conference call and Jacobs is still telling investors people are knocking down doors to work here. The ultimate used car salesman.
Investors do not delve deep enough into a company to see who's coming and going. For the most part todays investing is not concerned with long term prospects ( 5 yrs plus ) like they used to be.

It is not a big mystery as to what the future holds for us if you look at it and understand it from this prospective
