Agreed. Analysts are doing everything they can to cast stones at FedEx to quiet the talk of a slowing and possibly uncertain economy.

It lowers our guarantee from 68/85 hours (4 week/5 week bid month) to essentially 64/80 or as low as 56/70. There are rules that come into play to spread the lack of wealth. It is intended to prevent furloughs and did so. The one time it was implemented certain seats suffered a lot more than others, particularly the Domestic lines.
