This is a cynical investor sentiment DRIVEN attempt to inflate the value of FDX stock. Nothing else. All the prognostication about how this will play out is FUD. These system bids are worthless. Trying to forecast your manning levels 24 months out is foolhardy. This is why no one else in the industry does it.

All these management ploys will only ever result in sugar highs for the stock. Wall Street only rewards growth and innovation. Tesla doesn't have to layoff people and play numbers games to increase the value of their stock because they're growing and innovating and their leadership (seems) competent. Their stock price has been stratospheric. Meanwhile back in Memphis.......

Don't make any decisions based on this being the future. The world didn't change in the last 6 months
