Perhaps at gateways, but doubtful. Brown and FedEx are roughly the same overall size personnel wise. Brown handles more overall packages and has significantly higher profit margins, largely because it flies a far smaller share of its volume. The big difference is almost everyone at Brown is unionized and has relatively good pension and healthcare benefits. Brown also struggles retaining folks at the entry level, but once they’ve been around a little they tend to stick. Non-unionized folks don’t have those incentives to stick around if they can make $.50/hr more somewhere else.

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.

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.

1.B.6.C Should the Company violate the four bid period restriction, the Company shall pay to the Association the following for each wet lease conducted the greater of the number of block hours scheduled or flown, times 2.0, times the highest hourly rate for a three (3) man crew with fifteen (15) years of pay longevity, in addition to the international override, if any .

you were on the right page, but left out the next paragraph.

Well, let’s count apples to apples. If you count just “mainline” planes, it’s about 285 to 400. If you count non mainline planes, as in 200+ Caravans, ATR, and count UPS non mainline, then it’s more like 550 to 650. But, as explained earlier, employee count is the key number. We move more volume on the ground than Fedex, so saying 650 vs 250 is completely inaccurate and misleading.

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?

I've tried to update APC; however, they only want information that comes from a legit business email domain, not public (Gmail, yahoo, AOL, Fastmail etc etc). Therefore they rejected all of my information.
