NK is very clearly because of their engine issues. I've heard they will be down 25 planes by this time next year.
UPS and FDX, in my opinion, are actually right sizing and have pressure from Amazon. They grew like mad during Covid, and now they are fat. Plus Amazon has been building and building this whole time, and are doing a lot more on the ground and in house with DHL, Atlas, and all those small cargo outfits. Again, my uneducated opinion.
F9, on the other hand, no idea. With bases popping up and aircraft coming pretty quickly next year, who knows.
