If I were looking to come to FedEx, I'd wait until after the dust settles. Otherwise, you might find yourself and a few hundred or thousand folks trying to find a new job.

FedEx management made this decision when they didn't have to. They could have hired and trained enough pilots to cover the demand. FedEx deliveries are already bogged down and the on-time performance is slipping -- much lower than Amazon, UPS and USPS -- and we are not even at peak months.

A month ago, FedEx's Executive VP of Marketing and Communications was quoted in Business Insider as blaming "growth" for the lackluster on-time performance. However, yesterday during the Q1 earnings call, they blamed COVID and higher labor costs due to people not coming to work for the earnings miss. They were asked specifically if FedEx's problems were due to growth and if so why grow and disappoint your customers? We've seen the same attitude towards our customers in Flight Operations by requiring the pilots to fly Cost Index, putting saving fuel ahead of getting the packages there on time. That wouldn't have happened 10 years ago.

Fedex ... the World On Time ... FedEx's Time.
