The hiring spree might be slowly coming to an end. Fdx typically leads the pack and with their decision to retire MD10s and possibly A310s due to the softening demand, they might be closing their application window. That’s what a purple buddy of mine heard while doing his recurrent.
Hiring spree for Fedex maybe, most definitely not for us. We are short as it is plus all the net new planes coming. We haven’t seen a dramatic slowdown yet, our volume is holding up nicely. Seems our exposure is slightly different than Fedex. Not saying we are immune by any means. Only wildcard is if they decide to start retiring MD, which I doubt anytime soon as we are barely keeping up with volume not counting any future growth. We are investing in all current fleets, so except MD, everything is staying.
