I doubt that FEDEX lost $35 BILLION.........or lost any money at all.
Very misleading it should have said:
“while the passenger airline industry suffered record losses and was bailed out by the government during the pandemic, FedEx raked in record profits, keeping the world functioning, but somehow pax carriers are reaping rewards, industry leading agreements are close to being inked at delta air lines, where pilots are voting to ratify an agreement that provides a 30+percent raise, quality of life and retirement improvements. Meanwhile FedEx management is unwilling to provide their pilots with the same. “We are among the prize jobs in the aviation industry” FedEx founder Fred Smith has said. Will FedEx management step up to the plate and provide their pilots with an industry leading contact to solidify this claim and reaffirm their PSP principle? That remains to be seen.
