FedEx Update:
Pausing hiring until the end of May 23. Will reevaluate hiring at that time.
Parked 5 jets with an additional 11 by May 23.
Many bid packs will see minimum guarantee.
Shrinking not growing. New aircraft deliveries will be used to retire older aircraft.
Evaluating existing crew bases to ensure they still meet the needs of the network. System Bids to rebalance the crew force will likely be needed.
My opinion, FedEx pilots hired within the past year or so will be feeling the pain in 2023. Many of the fast Captain upgrades will be excessed to First Officers.
Merry Christmas !!!

My opinion: I don't think we'll furlough, yet. However, I think FedEx could easily furlough 300-400 pilots easily.

I’ve already spoken to someone that came here a year ago who is now thinking he made the wrong decision. He’s already put in his apps with UA and DAL, and I’m certain he’s not the only one that has done so in the past few months. The general feeling of a weak/ineffective union and incompetent management that can’t manage snow events is to blame. The company thinks their stuff doesn’t stink but it reeks to high Heaven. Wall Street in unhappy with their poor performance and so are customers.
