I guess I see this as tremendously sub-standard (for the mega-profitable FedEx Corporation), you don't. Therein lies the difference.
I think their stalling and frustrating tactics have been played masterfully. Very sharp guys who know that this company can afford a true industry-leading CBA, are willing to settle for this TA. Their negotiators are counting on their excellent timing (before September stockholder meeting, and before peak), and the "TVM" fear, for us to settle.
