From the MEC

After receiving briefs from ALPA’s Economic & Financial Analysis Department, the Director of Representation, the FDX Negotiating Committee and after careful consideration of the survey results, the MEC moved immediately and voted unanimously to retain the 3% across the board pay increase for 2012 and otherwise maintain the current CBA through March of 2013. In the meantime, ALPA and the Company will continue Interim Discussions.


Surprised to hear it was unanimous. Briefing details from committees must have been pretty interesting and I look forward to reading about them. In the meantime I think the MEC did the right thing by the crew force here and is to be commended.
