Plusses and minuses to it for us. It's a HUGE plus for UPS and UPS pilots are pushing it like crazy. In fact the primary push is from UPS pilots, Teamsters pilots (Atlas) and ALPA National - doesn't mean it's bad for Fedex pilots just means that's where the energy is and, by far, the biggest potential improvements. Most of 117 is already better protected by our own work rules. Yes, indiscriminate extensions would be stopped here which would be huge and likely the Company's biggest concern.
