I’ll work 24/7 until Christmas for 24 hours of JA pay/day. Then I’ll retire and watch it all burn.

You scream long and loud about the abuse and the rough conditions, despite being at the worlds second highest paying airline, working one of the best-treated, easiest jobs in the world, and have no idea what it's really like to run around the clock, do you?
The FedEx model works for FedEx, but has been falling behind (had a time critical package recently take 7 days to go from one state to another in an overnight package on FedEx), and the world on time is anything but. FedEx isn't doing deliveries in the dead of night; doing the sort, but nothing like a 24 hour supply. You may actually be working one of the most pampered jobs in the world, and have no idea how the other 90% lives. You're one of the loudest voices on here constantly wailing about it, too. One can only imagine what happens if you eventually learn what reality is really like.

Cargo already got large sums of Covid money, at a time when cargo was making large dividends due to increased rates. Record profits.

ACMI works longer days and has generally poor work rules because they are the regionals of the cargo industry. If you don’t like it, move on.
There are more cargo operations than UPS and FedEx. It's nice to know that the world revolves around, you, though.

Wow, making it personal, yet I have no idea who you are. And good strawman arguments you make. Come up with some doozies there. And even threw in some red herrings for good measure. I’m flattered my wailings live in your memory, rent free. Anyway, we have flights operate at all hours of the day, every day. And we have trucks operating every hour of the day, every day. We may even have some freight cars on the rails and shipping containers on the high seas? So I stand 100% behind my statement. FedEx already operates 24/7/365. And that’s on all sides of any clock you choose. I’ll give you a hint, this discussion wasn’t about Express.
I’m not even sure that FedEx is number two but out of morbid curiosity, which which airline is the ‘world’s first highest paying airline’?
Ok, now I’ll just go back to having no idea how the other 90% lives and what it's really like to run around the clock, while I’m at the best treated, easiest, pampered job, world’s second highest paying airline, while I’m simultaneously wailing, screaming long and loud bloody murder about abuse and rough conditions, while one (you?) imagines what happens if I eventually learn what reality is really like and not that FedEx outsources and supposedly isn’t even close to operating 24/7, just backed.
Did I get the gist of your rant?
