I've known a fair amount of people that have worked at FedEx corporate, poached talent from there, etc. I sincerely don't think they are going to turn the ship with the technical culture they have in place. It's abysmal, dysfunctional, and weighed down with so much red tape. Many engineers are just a cog in some large machine. Communication seems absolutely draconian.
Perhaps this is most companies that age and size but I simply would bet against any of their new technical endeavors without radical change in their organizational structures. I'd love to be proven wrong though. Healthy competition is a good thing.
