Can you give us an example of how specific these openers at FedEx are? Last time around at Delta, we got a 7-page document that was to some extent a conceptual opener. Although a number of specific proposals were included, hard numbers for pay increases, vacation pay, etc. were not shown.
How does that compare to what you've seen at FedEx?
