You are misinformed.

You guys are in for a ride….

“Customers could notice the effects of FedEx’s pursuit of efficiencies in instances it “opts for slower but cheaper freight transportation through its own network while relying less on faster but more expensive” third-party services, said CFRA Research Vice President Colin Scarola in an email. However, the largest cost-savings move is likely to be Express downsizing its flight operations as demand continues to fall, he added.
“Because most of the DRIVE cost cutting will be tied to shrinking Express volume, and not be matched with organic growth, the long-term profit trend for FedEx is not likely to be great even with a successful DRIVE initiative, in our view,” Scarola said.

So, does anyone really think that demand is just going to continue to shrink from now until forever? You might also note that he identifies organic growth as necessary to a long-term profit trend.

Shrinking to profitability is almost always a failed strategy.

Fedex is not the premier brand it once used to be unfortunately. They will continue to make money despite their inefficiencies however. I feel for the guys that were duped into leaving other carriers to come here and who are now sitting in the bottom 30% of the seniority list as upward mobility will be severely limited to near nonexistent for many years to come. I hope I’m wrong. On the upside, one thing is for certain, we will always get to feel the warm and fuzzy from the many e-mails sent to the crew force thanking all of us for a job well done…

It's really as if every ounce of give a $h!t in this company walked right out the door in Fred's briefcase.

You keep thinking that big guy. So glad I did not take the class, and not at UPS either. Avoided the sinking ship.

Sinking ship?
2022 net profits by airline/air line
FedEx 1.3B
Delta 1.318B
United .737B
AA .803B
SWA .539B
Total of all the above - 4.697B

UPS 2022 net profit - 13.9B
Smart move leaving the “sinking ship”
