Hope you are right, I think the question is how much are we going actually carry vs times past.

Several potential bidders, besides UPS. Whatever the final details, the contract will be a shell of the prior one.

So the USPS who loses billions every year is just going to drive every piece of mail on their own trucks everyday all over the country, and hope to turn a profit? On our glorious and modern interstate infrastructure? This Postmaster General is making a lot of noise and not delivering on any goals set forth in his 5 year "plan" that he's already two years into.

Indeed, FedEx is the only cargo company out there. Who else has been in the cargo business for decades who would be capable of flying mail around the country? It's so hard. Nobody else could possibly do it.

That isn't real. It's just a brilliant ploy by FedEx management to interfere with pilot contract negotiations. 🤦‍♂️

Actually, I believe that was the second installment of the deal. I remember the announcement in Dec 2000 I was in AOC and it was a big deal (the announcement)...it was combined with the original MOAB which saw new hires training in the 727 FE position, get MD-11 FO positions in the MD-11 with a one year wait for training. Looks like they were in formal talks in Sep 2000
