This is not new. The MD10s and A310-300s were slated to be gone by now anyway but some kept on due lift needs. All the MD10s including the -30s were slated to be gone by 2021. Looks like the -30s maybe around a little longer.

The planes are still coming, the 767 is going ETOPS and the company is adding 35/month classes through next year and despite the doom and gloom report we still made a ton of money. Once TNT is fully integrated and the China trade problems are solved FedEx is again be in the catbird seat. Any airline that can generate a 7% margin would be giddy with relief but here at FedEx it is panic time.
