Agreed. Now that Fred and his love affair with air cargo is gone, FedEx corporate is free to chase efficiency and cost savings at the expense of their airline’s growth. Unfortunately, my best guess is that their pilot group will see stagnant numbers for several years going forward as FedEx corporate figures out how to use a more UPS like business model. Hopefully, they stand strong on their contract negotiations and refuse to accept less than the going rate for widebody pilots, while also improving their retirement plan. I don’t envy them.
