ASAP protects the airline from federal fines as much as it protects us from disciplinary measures.
any single item that is negotiated (ASAP program for example) requires BOTH sides of the negotiation to be willing to negotiate.
how willing do any of us think that FedEx (the company side) was to negotiate the implementation of this kind of safety program AT ALL - let alone outside a "quid pro quo" scenario? and just hand over ASAP on a silver platter "in the interests of Safety First"?
how willing have they been up until now to release the full findings of the Enders Report "in the interests of Safety First"?
(hint: not at all willing - in either case - see any trends there?)
