I heard from multiple sources that FDX management is looking at options to outsource Express to Atlas. Cost cutting measures to elimante the pilot group. When i asked who would fly all the FDX aircraft without pilots? The response was FDX pilots would have an opportunity to apply at Atlas.

FDX uses contractors for Ground. FDX announced a shift in business where Express will be going FDX Ground where it will make service and reducing the need for aircraft and pilots. Similar to what UPS has done since 1982. FDX is phasing out Express Drivers who are actually employees and using the FDX Ground Contractors. The only Union Shop at FDX is the pilot group. FDX hates unions. It kinda seems like theres some meat to those rumours

Atlas Air to end Amazon flights, focus on international customers
How is FDX gonna outsource domestic express operations to a carrier focusing on the international market especially after the postal contract was transferred to UPS?
You're really bad at this trolling game.

FDX bringing in John Dietrich as Exec. VP and CFO from Atlas will give you some perspective??? FDX spin off the airline to Atlas? FDX spin off the airline to somebody else for domestic and use Atlas for Intl? FDX is in major cost cutting mode. Their pilot group hasn't received a new contract. The airline is severly top heavy right now. I guess we'll have to see? Oh BTW "Troll" really hurts my feelings...... Put your big boy pants on and talk like a grown up.
But looking for a JD conspiracy theory is a sure sign you don't understand the industry, so you see coincidences as patterns, because...you know..."there are no coincidences."
OF COURSE there are going to be rumors of outsourced jobs during FDX contract negotiations. JD will talk pretty on earnings calls with investors and will then turn around and speak of untold gloom and doom to the crews.
We have heard it all before. Nothing new here. FDX guys just need to power through it and get to the other side.
