From the May 27th article -
FedEx , which expects weak demand through 2009, is delaying the start of overnight sorting operations at PTI for a few months and with a much smaller work force than anticipated.
By fall, depending upon the economy, the hub will begin its sorting operations with 200 additional workers, mostly part-time with benefits.
So this looks like a good sign to you? I hope they offer some of those positions to pilots.
