Our new contract included significant changes that were implemented in the March bid month. One thing that has been a windfall for the company is the new policy regarding recurrent training. If your training splits a string of R-days, the whole string is dropped, and you are forced to do make up to protect your pay. I think this item alone has caused a significant reduction in the required manning levels for FedEx.
I dont think that has any effect on manning whatsoever. I could be wrong but I just dont understand the logic behind your statement. A trip that is left in open time will be flown by a reserve anyway ...right??
