FedEx Customers and Shareholders,

We‘re FedUp.

John Dietrich is Failing.

The FedEx Master Executive Council of the Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l (ALPA) has reached a consensus reflecting a loss of confidence in John Dietrich’s ability to manage operational risk in his current role and safeguard the operational and financial stability of FedEx Corporation.

Lisa Lisson is Failing.

The FedEx Master Executive Council of the Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l (ALPA) is compelled to formally express a loss of confidence in Lisa Lisson’s ability to lead Air Operations. Since assuming her role under the One FedEx transformation, Air Operations lacks change management practices that recognize labor as a critical component to achieving success in corporate transformation under FedEx’s people-first philosophy.

Justin Brownlee is Failing.

The FedEx Master Executive Council of the Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l (ALPA) reached a consensus reflecting a significant loss of confidence in Justin Brownlee’s ability to manage Air Operations. This decision is based on a persistent and unacceptable decline in airline planning and scheduling performance, which jeopardizes the sustainability, reliability, and long-term viability of the air logistics network.

"You can never, ever do enough for your people."

“We’ve delivered through crisis and transformation, and we expect to be treated like professionals who enable corporate success.”

FDX MEC Chair Capt. Nieves

"Everybody pitches in."

What happened to our founding philosophies? 

"The pilot group has been an instrumental component of FedEx’s long-standing success... However, management has abandoned its “people first” philosophy and is now so focused on cost-cutting and shareholder value that they are neglecting the true stakeholders who earned FedEx’s global stature—its employees." [🔗 December 10, 2024 Press Release]

From a survey of FedEx pilots:

"A winning culture has many cultures."

FedEx is selling culture for financial gain.

“I find it ironic that our guiding motto, the Purple Promise, aims ‘to make every FedEx experience outstanding’,” said Capt. Nieves. “But when it comes to investing in the people who safeguard its network operations, FedEx disappears behind that principle.

[🔗 June 3, 2025 Press Release]

"Problems have a silver lining too."

The path forward.

FedEx pilots call for “management to reassess the impact of recent optimization decisions and collaborate with us on a way ahead – a future that balances safety, productivity and quality of life in a challenging operating environment.”
