It’s also obvious to me that fdx planned this ASL transfer a looooong time ago…easily a year or so before they broke ground on the new ramp space. They didn’t just turn this on when coming up with DRIVE, they knew, they had to get funding for the build by showing it’ll save them money.

Seriously? He's made the entire point. What other point are you looking for?
Tomorrow morning, May 2nd, the following cities will be flown from CDG by ASL pilots that until recently, were flown by FedEx CGN pilots.
ARN
BER
CGN (Irony)
CPH
OPO
BUD
HEL
Other posters, including myself, have outlined the block hour decrease in CGN. If you don't see what's happening right now...can't really help you.

Another poster said it was two lines less. Did they move the 757s to other routes?

We don’t fly 737’s in case you haven’t noticed. So that down-gauging equals outsourcing, likely on a permanent basis. If freight requires more lift then expect ASL to get larger jets.

36 to 34 doesn't sound like the sky is falling. What is the company and union telling you guys? Seems to me, and yes I agree it sucks, that they down gauged from 757 to 737 on some routes. Are there still Airbus and 767 routes? Did those go away too?
I put in an Insite to the company. Now I get it that this is from Flight Operations and not the C Suite Managers but they said the flying will be filled via SIBA or lines flown from the USA, like they did before CGN base.

You didn’t mention what the union or company has said about this.

PM going through a list of airlines that are out of business (and two that aren’t actually out of business in the context presented) and blaming their business failures on Scope was the second most elementary and insulting part of his update.

PM, clearly said how there's a balance between tying the company's hands at a time when they're most focused on competing and they're concerned about the overall company survival compared to its competitors. Will FedEx management compete better with UPS and DHL to preserve everybody's jobs.
He used the backdrop of huge contract wins, huge scope wins and they meant nothing if the company ended up going out of business.

$5 billion in share repurchases in the last 18 months and two dividend raises in the last 12… and we’re worried that better contract language will make the company uncompetitive?
