Or, maybe it is just what was posted in the article. The lease for the hanger expires in June 2024. The people that work there were told that the airport wasn't interested in a long term lease. So, FedEx decided against a short term lease and is moving the maintenance to IND as a cost savings measure. The article quoted FedEx as saying that this only affects the maintenance hangar. Maybe they will be closing LAX as a pilot base, maybe not. Let's not get distracted. Let's get the contract we deserve. Time for FedEx to pay up. See you April 5th.
