The loss ("we let it expire" - Raj) of a lucrative federal contract (Uncle Sam always pays) trucking, plane, or otherwise is not good news.
So what if USPS wanted to "move to trucking", well shocking surprise - so does FedEx. The fact that Raj and gang were not able to retain a 20 year customer or have the brains to get it renewed is concerning

UPS will replace FedEx as the dominant provider of domestic air cargo for the U.S. Postal Service for the first time in more than 20 years. The express delivery giant on Monday announced that the Postal Service has awarded it a “significant” contract to move the majority of the mail agency’s air cargo in the United States.

Our uphill battle for a new contract just got substantially steeper with the news today.

They knew this was coming and announced another $5bil in stock buybacks. Not buying the “I’m poor” mantra.

You may be right, could be a silly guess but you made my point and I agree with you, UPS just started talks and as you said they take an average of two years. That’s relative peace compared to the stage of the game we are at, and peaceful enough to get through the election in November.

Nice try. 39K a year bump was nothing. You really think that would make a difference to someone who has maxed their 401K for over 25yrs? I'll be enjoying my pension and millions while you are sweating out a job.

“Leave it better than you found it.” Words very few senior FedEx pilots take to heart. But they exist. You’re not one of them.

Im not sweating anything. It’s just a job and if I lose it I’ve got options and the sun will still come up.

man you are a scumbag. To ever wish ill on other pilots that you share the flight deck with that just want to provide for our families and don’t have the “millions” you have is as repulsive as this company and management thieves
