I was mostly being facetious in my post, because why would all the corporate jets descend upon Boeing just to cancel 6 of 43 options?

Interesting point, the “ethical” c-suite currently at FedEx describes employee layoffs as opportunities. I’ve listened to many earnings calls from multiple companies over the years and that was the first time I’ve ever heard an executive describe destroying someone’s livelihood as an “opportunity”. Just disgusting and speaks volumes about John Dietrich’s character and lack of integrity. Hope the board has sense enough to send him to the unemployment line sooner rather than later.

Xing30West is exactly on point. It's not like he's trying to be different by going off the reservation. He has been a known quantity for many many years and obviously hired to burn from within and it hasn't even been a year since he touched down. When the desired outcome is achieved then and only then will he be on his way to the next book burning episode.
*"You can never say firing your own people is an opportunity" - Spectre86. Well, sounds like he did. Understand your sentiment like those folks in the movie "Up in the Air", they heard the proverbial "see it as an opportunity" and that went over like being tied to an anvil and thrown into the Mariana Trench.
