Make no mistake...if FDX ALPA went up against UPS, they would be lucky to make non-sched wages and have any work rules whatsoever. They would get slaughtered.

Fred GRANTS FDX ALPA an existence, IMO because he's smart enough to know that a fragmented ALPA and a pilot group deep down knowing how weak ALPA is is good for business.

If ALPA ever does get around to negotiating a contract they'll perhaps be lucky to get UPS+$1, or get another 'With or without you" letter in the mail and fold like a house of cards.

My bet is FDX ALPA flounders and takes UPS+$1...why do all that work when somebody else can do it for you...the new American way apparently.
