They will wish they had negotiated a much better Scope clause. The newer FedEx pilots will wonder why they didn't (Hint; Fred liked his pilots in his jets around the world so never a priority). Now see FedEx painted 73's in Europe with no FedEx pilots flying them, even with Fred in the picture. UPS screeching growth for focus on highest yields, but our future is stable IMO
Not quite an accurate post - those 737s are a direct result of the TNT purchase and we have already captured some of the TNT flying, South Africa and a few Dubai sequences. We also have painted 757s flying in Canada with Canadian pilots. To say that either of these is a result of our scope clause is inaccurate. FedEx also owned at lest one 747 from the TNT deal and that plane was not flown by FedEx pilots, not sure if we still own it or not.
Who flies your freight intra Canada?
Can you really say that your flying is stable with the big chunk of low yield Amazon freight you continue to carry? That Amazon business is the direct opposite of your 'highest yields' statement.
Sorry for the thread drift - but wanted to provide accurate information.
