Dude, my opinion is worth what you paid for it, but in my eyes the plan is obvious.
FedEx Corp is not in trouble. They’re doing just fine. They’re still making money, and they probably always will. The problem as it relates to this discussion is that they are trimming fat in the most capital-intensive areas of the corporation: ie the airline.
There are 600,000 FedEx employees. Less than 1% are pilots. It’s REALLY expensive to get $hit to your house on an airplane. It’s really cheap to get it there in a truck.
If anyone can’t read the tea leaves by now, I’m not sure what to tell you. It sucks - bad - and it’s not getting better.
Again, just my opinion. Fire away.

That'll get fixed by 2025 just in retirements. Tweak seats in the next bid and all is well. Anyone actually worrying about a furlough is spinning themselves up unnecessarily, IMO. The junior pilots aren't in the right places to furlough effectively and these next bids are gonna take much too long to train out for them to actualy execute a furlough.

According to PD in CAN ops earlier this week it's now 250 fat.

“The parcel logistics giant will reduce daytime domestic flying time by 60% and the number of city destinations by 55%, which will add about 500 pilots to the existing surplus, said Justin Brownlee, senior vice president for flight operations and network planning, in a letter to airline workers obtained by FreightWaves. No pilots will be hired for the foreseeable future, he added.”

They worked their a$$es off to ramp up during Covid, now they're gonna work their a$$es off to reshuffle seats so the company can put us in 4a2c.
