If we accept this TA at FedEx it might hurt you guys in the next round of negotiations, just like how your contract extension hurt us when we were negotiating for higher rates for our contract... our company kept coming back and saying they didn't want to pay more than UPS rates even after DL lifted the bar.
Beyond that, the rest of our problems are due to ALPA refusing to negotiate better scope.
