Exactly. Getting absolutely played.

From the SIG notes:

Looking ahead, the seven European cities remaining with 757 service will be reduced by three in April. We are projected to lose EMA, MAD, and MUC. If you have not had the opportunity to serve our customers in these cities, this may be your last chance.

This validates why I voted no. The Scope section alone was a deal killer for me, not to mention all the rest of it.

UPS doessn't fly to MUC either. Or EDI, or ATH, or Belfast, or Milan, etc. etc.. And FDX has 9 777's in NRT and another 8 in KIX. While UPS has 2. I wouldn't be complaining.

Of course you know that isn't the point. I suggest going to the FCIF Posting of 23-01. It can be found in the Postings link, in the Gen Info tab of the Resources drop down. Go down to the 4th bullet under domicile plans. Let us know what you find and if you see any of the lost flying in the MEM57 bidpack. THAT, is the point. Where has all of the flying gone compared to where they said it would go?

What does UPS having less airplanes in NRT and KIX have to do with us losing flying to a subcontractor in Europe because our scope is the joke of the industry? I don’t understand why we shouldn’t be complaining about losing flying?

Where are all the TA YES voters? Are you awake yet?!

The company is exploiting our extremely weak current scope section everyday, and you wanted to give the company MORE leverage to outsource our jobs?!

India triangle flying GONE come June and outsourced.Thats P1 freight!

How much more BS and lies from the company is it going to take for you to see this gutting of FedEx is REAL?

WAKE UP

So with the India flying, is the company just going to permanently pay the penalty?

Also, I thought trunk planes were being removed. If the trunk fleet is shrinking, how can they wet lease?

What penalty? Belly freight costs them NOTHING. Our international scope is HORRIBLE.
