I suspect rioting takes a lot of their time, you know, they have to plan the riot and then show up and destroy things. That takes a lot of their time and energy, not much time time left for work. I suspect work is not a priority for them anyway. Just a guess:0

The PDX rampers are normally rockstar. The SEA rampers are excellent as well. I’ve had some of the best maintenance and tightest loading crews in the system at both those locations. I’ve been told they are borne in the fire of SEA arrival time into MEM driving the sort time. Makes sense, and with PDX serving basically the same flight time into MEM & providing shock absorption to relieve SEA freight, I’d think PDX is a tougher ramp. Just my observation over a few years.
But PDX (and SEA) have had domestic issues these past couple years. I’m not surprised it’s tough to staff both locations.

I agree with your general premise/sarcasm here, but I would not lump the FedEx employees into that necessarily. Those dudes/dudettes working for FedEx have been highly professional & hustling at work. They break the mold of PNW liberal tendencies IMO.
I meant to respond to you directly with my other post; sorry for the double post.

Yep, right from the top, as quoted from Yahoo Finance:
Explained Subramaniam, "Our Portland Oregon hub is running with approximately 65% of the staffing needed to handle its normal volume. This staffing shortage has a pronounced impact on the operations, which results in our teams diverting 25% of the volume that would normally flow through this hub because it simply cannot be processed efficiently to meet our service standards. And in this case the volume that diverted must be rerouted and process, which drives inefficiencies in our operations and in turn higher costs. These inefficiencies included adding Incremental linehaul and delivery routes, meaning more miles driven and higher use of third-party transportation to enable us to bypass Portland entirely. Now that's merely one example."

Seems Fedex is circling back to pre Covid status, where operational issues were dragging down the company.
In the last quarterly earnings call, UPS did not mention having this staffing issue, and our current OTP continues to be high 90’s. I wonder why Fedex is having trouble finding people and UPS isn’t? Not bashing Fedex, just wondering why the difference?

And here is the rest of the quote that points out the problem is at Ground:
“…Now that's merely one example. Across the FedEx Ground network, there are more than six hundred thousand packages a day being rerouted. We anticipate the cost pressures from network inefficiencies such as the one I just illustrated to persist through peak as we navigate the labor market and impacts of new Covid.”

Am I having a minor stroke as I read the scope section of the contract?
Why is the word minimum used where I would expect it to be maximum?
1.B.6. The Company may also wet lease a minimum of two aircraft above
60,000 lbs. MTOGW for up to four (4) bid periods per calendar year
1.B.6.b. Except for the minimum two aircraft wet leasing referred to above,
during the bid periods described in this paragraph, the Company
shall not wet lease more than the net gain of trunk aircraft scheduled
to be added and brought into service in any calendar year.
