This LOA represents six months of Negotiating Committee and MEC work which included, among other things, personal visits to the proposed locations. ALPA Staff were present during our meetings to give detailed briefs and expert analyses regarding the Railway Labor Act, taxation, healthcare and other topics of concern for FedEx pilots and their families. The MEC received input from many sources, including our members currently assigned to an FDA in their analysis of the issues. This LOA will not be all things to all pilots, but it does contain very significant enhancements to our current contractual FDA language.

Your MEC considered a wide range of factors which ultimately convinced us that this agreement warrants your approval.


If the union has spent the last 6 months gathering info why are they just now starting to share some of that info...so where is the rest of it??? Don't just tell me ratify this LOA and drink the coolaid, please explain to me why I should and why this is the best the MEC can negiotiate.

I still can't figure out how any pilot that has children in school would be able to to bid either one of these FDS's with no provisions for schooling?

I know the plan is to have 757 based in CDG but has the company officially come out and said that HKG will be an Airbus base?

I'm still voting a big fat NO! I'd rather roll the dice and try yo have the company sweeten the deal. If they don't then let them sweat it out trying to figure out outsoursing the freight that they need to move.
