some other major airlines did. Some didn’t. None of them needed to. If UA hadn’t given up line guarantees they still wouldn’t have been able to furlough like they wanted to because all of the PIs needed to retrain the widebody guys how to fly the 737 would have furloughed. They had the company by the balls and still offered the company concessions.

 

I agree. The landscape has changed. But PM has some time left at FedEx. Unless he’s retiring early…I think he still has more than just a retirement dog in this fight. However. He is seeming to make it sound like we gotta vote yes cuz it’s all we are gonna get and a TA isn’t even reaches yet. Disappointing update.

 

Merle you got me their. Sometimes spelling and proper grammar elude me. Your the better man when it comes to these thing, .

look no one has to listen to a thing I say. I am one man with one vote, but somebody has to offer something other than amplifying the management driven noise that everyone one around here seems intent on doing. I mean the NC is dropping slides that are pure expectation management. Seriously like WTH?!

Fedex can cut all the costs and layoff everyone and that will still not fix the fact that they are and continue to offer a substandard product that continues to plumb new lows for customer expectations. So Management going on all the financial shows and offering public statements (aimed at telegraphing messages to wall street AND you and me) still won't fix the problem. Yet we still take what they say and spread the FUD like wildfire as though offering some prescient vision.

This bid cannot stop the demographic freight train coming. It looks to solve service problems squarely rooted in outsourcing with more outsourcing and it will fail. The harder they fail the shorter their tenures will be. One thing remains they've not figured out how to "engineer" pilots out of the equation yet. Don't panic and hold fast.

 

I can't wait to vote yes to an entirely reasonable contract with compensation and QOL improvements. Mostly to offset at least one of the automatic "no" voters who want $1,000,000/hr, double recess, and soda in the drinking fountains.

 

That does sound pretty good. Sign me up for that!

 

One has to wonder did you vote the same on the strike vote? I mean you wouldn't want folks thinking you were unreasonable or something.

We went from industry leading to " reasonable contract with compensation and QOL improvements". Alright Hizzah!

 

We must be getting close to a TA. The sell job is starting.

 

We already have triple recess on the 757. Recess between each leg on the way in, recess at the hub, and then recess between each leg on the way out. It's great, and the best part is that it's not 117 legal and we aren't getting paid any extra to compensate for that.

Couldn't have said it better myself

 

UPS is laying off feeder drivers. Freight is down. Coyote is laying off brokers. UPS is parking MD-11s too. And their freight is down, like ours. They were wrong.

How many of those jets were there before the CDG consolidation and flying for TNT?

I was referring to their last Qtr, forecast(future) moving forward. Second half of year volume increase predicted to increase. Who knows if that’s true because it’s in the future. "The good news is we've seen volume stabilize in the month of April. So, I think some of the macros and volume is sort of is hitting a low in the second quarter. I would expect volume growth to rebound relative to the second quarter in the second half of the year"
