Wisdom from the ceo
"This strategy supports our commercial growth plans while avoiding adding up to 50 new wide-body aircraft to our fleet in the next 10 years, which we would otherwise need to fly about 30 daily frequencies that can now be flown more economically and efficiently with partner lift.
As a result, we will deploy our Purple Tail crews and airplane assets towards the higher yielding, more premium segments of our business that it was designed for. It's all about processing more volume with less capital input and better resource management, or simply put, moving more packages and freight with fewer enterprise assets and People.
That was a quote from your ceo, and this new scope would remove any restrictions from accomplishing his goals, he plans on farming out your jobs, this is a real threat.

All the more reason if this is an inevitability we should all be compensated at the top of the industry as we WILL be working longer and harder. We NEED those QOL thing not because they're nice to have but because this job will take years off you life. As I said in another post. All of Pat May's happy projections are based on past performance to convince you to sell you labor for below market value. You better realize we are moving in to a 4a2c world with reduce BLGs furloughs and unlimited wet leasing.
Signing this TA will assure that we have the lowest paid 757/777 Captains in the industry. This will be exacerbated by profit sharing compensation historically received by other pilot groups as well as the drive induced doldrums on seat progression and BLG.

I am curious what exactly he means by avoiding up to 50 widebody aircraft. Does that mean cancelling orders for 50 widebodies, or not ordering an additional 50 more? Grounding 50 widebodies currently in use? That's a lot of lift and I wonder what 50 airplanes he's talking about.

This is exatly what they are doing with the Express/Ground guy in the trucks. They are sharing sort and delivery facilities while splitting the routes. The Express courier will be doing high volume/yield, close in delivery while the ground guy will now be doing the country rural routes with one measly package.
They want to do the same thing with lift. Its that simple. Honestly when they initiated the Drive initiative we should of reopenned scope that day. Two things kill us during negotiations. 1. Money, they can always negotiate longer and harder due to deeper pockets. 2. We always assume the new language will be used by the old operating standard and are always surprised then say “well we didnt think thats the way they would do or enforce this”.
We are in a pickle for sure.

I believe there is roughly 50 remaining 767s left to be delivered. I would fully expect fedex to take the orders but with the new language they would “lease” them to Atlas or kallita type. Let the whipsaw begin if this trash ta gets voted in.
