Why would we make an assumption that all of the MDs would be parked without any replacements? Has there been any guidance to support that position?
The economy taking a ******* would be a solid reason to park the MDs without replacements. Even if we park half the MD fleet and half the airbus fleet (both relatively small fleets) we end up net negative on airplanes. It won't take much for us to shrink, honestly.

Technically he's right. We currently have over 6000 pilots on the seniority list.... first time in FedEx history. He did not say "active pilots."
