Reporting code isn’t all that stringent on this matter due to the cohesion within the Corp and sub entities operating within the umbrella of the Corp. Many wealthy individuals “don’t make money” on paper. Corps can do similar. This is why many have large market caps and stock valuations even if they “don’t make any money”.
Since they’re combining the three companies, is that scenario still possible?

Interesting suggestion. Do the pilots work for Fedex Express or Fedex Corp? Is Express a division or an entirely different company under the Fedex Corp umbrella?
