So factor in 50-100 retirements in 2010, the company spinning the numbers a bit in their favor, steady economic improvement and you have FDX 50-300 "overmanned" fleet wide by the end of next year. Fleet wide, not just in the lowest paid seat.
They could run another excess and start putting folks onto the street in the spring. But this would be odd because one or more vacancy bids would likely get posted before they get halfway thru the furloughing. Never say never, but this would make them look dumber than anything else they have done the last couple of years.
