That is all we know. Here is a little secret on the corporate culture at FDX, the Chief Pilot has no advance knowledge when the spigot will be turned off.

Further, the company is fairly optimistic about things for 2021 and beyond assuming no Recession. That of course is the million dollar question. If there is a recession, I highly doubt it will be what we saw 10 years ago.

And don’t forget this statement
“In addition, we are parking the equivalent capacity of seven MD-11 aircraft this fiscal year,”
As stated in another thread we have at least 5 757 already in storage in VCV ( use gate sheet it shows HVY MX but ARD shows they are stored) and many more sitting at out stations and being rotated about every 5 days. One can just look at the block hours(not credit hrs) and see the drop in flying.
I’m afraid to see what the bid packs will look like after peak

Wonder when the MEC then ALPA is going to come out with communications saying they were not consulted. Typical bull**** blame game. MEC did a fantastic job dividing the pilot group for the the company. I am sure we will se the great chuck dyer at our negotiating table rather than a lawyer who $h1t is together. But heh top notch dinners, high class hotels, first class tickets are expensive. Depleting a war chest from 8 million dollars to just under a million dollars takes a lot of work.

Remember we are still bringing on line a new 767 every 5 weeks. The 767 were supposed to replace the MD10 flying. So parking the MD10 is nothing new. Just following the original plan and not delaying.
Also the domestic market is strong. So does not make to much sense we are cutting back that much. International is what is struggling. Once the trade war gets resolved things should pick back up.
