Why is it the wet lease folks get the good cities?? WESTERN GLOBAL FLYING HNL/SJU/PHX/?? Why aren’t these folks flying YMX, TLC, QRO?? Things of that nature ... not sure why they are allowed to take the better flying that we ourselves could be doing... anyone have an answer to why this is ? Can the union folks step in?
Here is a list of FedEx contract carriers mostly operating ATR’s but up to 757’s.
Cost. HNL has much higher fee’s/overhead than YMX. Also, a lot of countries, such as a Canada and us, don’t allow foreign airlines to operate domestically. That’s why Morningstar and Cargojet do ALL domestic FedEx flights. Imagine buying a ticket on Air Canada to fly ATL - MSP.
