As a FDX pilot you won't receive any bonus.


They don't get a bonus either. They usually get merit-based pay rate increases every October. Those will come 6 months earlier, in April. Six months of tiny increases won't amount to much, but it helps FedEx's corporate image.

$1.5 billion in facilities at our Indy hub -- that was already planned anyway.

$1.5 billion voluntary contribution to the pension fund. Sounds like a good reason to dump ours.

Glad we did. Our corporate tax rate is not competitive with the rest of the world versus being one of the highest and as we've seen before the "rich" are the ones that drive this economy.

That is because you don't think and are just fed a steady diet from the talking heads of I hate Trump more commonly known as the main stream media.

You know it sucks when thousands of companies have given permanent increases in wages to their employees, given out hundreds of millions in bonuses to their employees and repatriated tens of Billions of dollars back into the U.S.

Of course if this was an Obama achievement it would be on CNN, ABC, MSNBC, NBC played 24/7 and every new company that announced a wage increase or bonus would be celebrated, four page articles would appear in the New York Times, U.S.A. today and Washington Times touting this achievement.

Funny thing is we hardly ever hear from those sources any of this or how the stock market has broken record after record (despite the left's accusation that if Trump won the presidency that it would tank) or how unemployment is at a 10 year low or that black unemployment is at a record low.

So, please tell me how allowing the American citizens and American companies to keep more of their money they earned instead of giving it to a giant cash incinerating machine known as the government is going to screw the "everyday man" who on average is going to take home an increase of $1,560 a year?

Be nice guys.

Trump taking credit for things he had no ability to influence in the short time he's been in office is very Trump-like.

Ya....he probably even would have accepted a nobel peace prize for doing nothing too.

I own a lot of stock. I'm very happy about the corporate tax cuts. And I'm glad to see companies bringing money back to the US, along with making new investments in the US.

The buzz around Davos was that other countries were going to cut their corporate taxes as well due to their concern of losing business to the US.

Governments worldwide have grown to be bloated and inefficient. The best thing that can happen is that governments worldwide have to shrink due to smaller budgets. If this is the impetus of governments shrinking, that's great.

I hope you feel this way when it's time to pay this money back.

Wrong and wrong. Big corps didn't pay anywhere near the 35+ % the people claim the effective tax rate for big companies before the tax cut was less than 20%. The only people that pay 30% is us.

Well, the fix is smaller (less expensive) government.
