Just to clarify that FedEx are not laying off 14000 employess. They are offering an early retirement and voluntary severance programme to salaried U.S. employees in the Express division, of which 14000 employess are ELEGIBLE. This is not the amount they plan to lay off.
Secondly, the A310 rumour was true, however, today we have heard it will be one of AirContractors own B4's doing the DUB-STN-CDG in place of there own C130. Think the ACL crewed FedEx A310 idea has gone out the window. Would have made it interesting with our pilots union though!
