10 thoughts on “FedEx plans to move LA maintenance operations to Indianapolis

  1. I wonder if the United Airlines Maintenance Facility, built during Hudnut’s tenure on the opposite side from FedEx, could somehow be utilized? It was barely open when UA decides to consolidate elsewhere.

    1. CMA
      If I’m not mistaken, FedEx is already dk8ng maintenance on their jets
      In that facility that was originally built by Delta Airlines.

    1. Which still has the largest GDP of all states, and it’s not even really close. Businesses move. Their lease was ending and they saw an opportunity to consolidate operations and save money. Don’t read too much into it.

    2. To add on to what Marshall said, Indiana’s total GDP is barely higher than the San Diego metro area, which is only the third largest metro area in California. LA isn’t going to suffer from losing a relatively small handful of blue collar FedEx jobs.

    3. California has a huge GDP but continually losing these types of jobs will not help it in the long run.

    4. We lost more major businesses in the last 24 months than California did….

      So I don’t understand your comment

    5. A mere five words, Anthony, and the wokies come out like a feral wolfpack.

      California has lost more tech jobs alone than Indiana has lost since peak COVID. And while I’ll concede that California has a vastly bigger tech sector than Indiana, the state is losing population.

      Per the Feb 2023 BLS unemployment, California is well over a percentage point worse than Indiana and its rank (#43) is actually an improvement over what it was last year, when it was still firmly lodged at last or second to last.

      It ain’t the land of milk and honey that it was in the 1980s. Things can change, but, right now, the political will seems to be absent. With responses like this, continually making excuses, one can see why.
