Do you have anything worthwhile to contribute about the state of FX or just want to keep claiming the legacies will falter somehow. What if they don’t? You don’t know the answer to that but the stagnation and problems at FX are very real right now. I wouldn’t have even considered this job if I had even half the insite I do now.[/QUOTE]

Yes, the Pastal Contact has been a godsend for the last two decades. Day flying and fills up 30 MD-11's per day in volume. But the contract may be cut by 80% this fall. And then if true, FDX is waaay over staffed. Even with an early $500K buyout offers to the top seniority 60 year olds. Also, if you look around the system, FDX flies triple the birds than UPS. Eventually management is going to try to match that ratio. Not Good if your under 40 and junior. While AAL and others are hiring like no tomorrow and 50% of their pilots retiring next 5 years.
