That could happen or things could pick back up and we could be completely slammed and way undermanned. Either could happen.
where in this bid does it give any indication of what loads or overall freight will look like? You can’t base it on jets - we don’t even know if they will actually receive all the jets that have been ordered or how many will be parked.
we do know
- daytime sort to decrease by large amount due to postal contract changes
- CO intends to use trucks a lot more
- CO intends to use more “partner” life instead or our own jets
- PAC crossings to decrease by 30%
now add all that up and they are certainly saying they intend to greatly REDUCE the amount of freight the airline carries
