Retiring more aircraft

[yadig]

UPS, a smaller airline, has more empty space on aircrafts than a much bigger Express airline that’s currently dumping as much of its freight onto Ground as it possibly can? If UPS can turn a profit with this contract by filling their voids with postal, so could FedEx. Especially with the new Fedex obviously heading towards more voids on planes anyway. They didn’t want to fly the freight. Period. Any explanation for why UPS took the deal would’ve made sense for FedEx too. Because we’re transitioning to the exact same business model as them.

It’s very simple and even dano knows, UPS is better managed!

Don’t worry, we’re doing everything possible to correct that!

You're saying that FedEx should us USPS volume to fill the empty space on the flights that are already flying for the purpose of moving USPS volume. My God.

I understood that FedEx was flying Postal freight in idle airplanes, not so much in Express hauling flights.

You are correct.

If UPS is filling their overnight under utilized capacity, that is a fundamentally different process.

UPS is putting most of the freight on their existing daytime flights.

You are correct.

UPS is putting most of the freight on their existing daytime flights.

And why can’t we put the freight on OUR existing daytime flights? If UPS has been flying daytime flights with enough empty space to fly the whole contract, how are they more profitable than us? And why aren’t we going to have more space on our daytime flights with the shrinking of Express? It doesn’t make any sense dude. If UPS doesn’t need postal specific flights, why did we. And why would we still need them with the ongoing merge?

Sounds like what you don’t know exceeds what you do.

I’m just questioning the logic of “UPS is better set up for the contract”. Especially when we’re transitioning to their same operation model. No freight carrier in the world is better set up to fly postal freight than FedEx Express.

THE DAYTIME FLIGHTS WE WERE USING FOR POSTAL VOLUME WERE FLIGHTS CREATED FOR THE POSTAL VOLUME.

All this time, all this going back and forth, and you didn't know that?????? My goodness, you're DAFT.

Okay. Put the freight on already existing flights. Are you suggesting UPS can do that and we can’t?
