FedEx nor any other airline or Air Line management group has some strategic plan to wear out the pilots. They know the pilots will do it to themselves. They just need to wave around a bit of premium pay and pilots jump over themselves to oblige. The temporary problems then go away as the pilots fixed it for them. Then once the extra help isn’t needed the premium pay disappears and back to ops normal of playing the long game under the labor laws. It’s not that complicated. Hope all those pilots going the extra mile over the past two years are enjoying this stage of negotiations now. Thank them.
