Replace “express” with “atlas” and ground and freight would be mostly unaffected. Scope matters.

Well, "Raj" may think differently. Maybe in 1985 under Fred Smith. It appears today's Raj "FedEx" is Express, Ground, and Freight. It also appears "Express" is a thorn in their side, if my negative pessimistic self reads the slide they way I read it

"weakness at Express" could have been worded to say "challenges in the marketplace faced by Express" etc etc
We were seeing those exact same slides and stats in 2014 right up until we signed the POS TA we were told was the best we could ever hope to get - at which point the Corp.'s narrative did a full 180 and suddenly Express had some of the most profitable quarters ever.

Regardless, as the MEC stated in writing in our openers, it's "industry leading payrates".

If the NC puts forth a TA that does not contain this, they will look like absolute fools. While some may feel that is not realistic and want to sell themselves short, I on the other hand know what I'm worth and what those I fly with are worth. Stay strong, united, and don't buy in to any of the BS rumors floating out there.

You'd really have to believe the NC/MEC is aware that anything less than DL/UA/AA will get voted down at this point. If it's not, doesn't have scope improvements, contains any of the rumored concessions, or whatever other sh!te the company puts in there...then we vote it down and start over. Our UA friends just proved it can be done.

See ya on April 5th.

They are aware, and if you or anyone doesn't know that, I've spoken directly to PM regarding this and similar topics at all but one of the picketing events. You too, can do the same. See you on Wall St. AGAIN.

Keep in mind “FedEx Freight” is freight forwarding, a whole whole lot of that goes on other carriers

Don’t count on FedEx hiring anytime soon… apparently 20+ pilots left to other airlines last week.

Poor form posting company email. And the email says that more pilots will be required to staff Europe from Mem. Guess you missed that. Keep up the gloom and doom.

How're things at the PAC today Stan? Stockholm Syndrome much?

We, as a group have to proactively share information because our management and our union do not. I greatly appreciate the pilot on the inside that chose to share that information. They clearly understand that their clan is the pilot group, not management.

It says staffing adjustments will take 12-20 months to complete… we just saw Pax carriers go through this, excess training capacity was eaten up by displaced pilots from shuttered fleets and new hire training didn’t resume until that was completed.
