2015 hourly rates were industry leading (for a few months), at the expense of significant givebacks.

FedEx finally seems anxious to get a deal done. Expect for a parking lot type deal with lots of concessions remaining from TA2023 like student lines, AVA concessions, vacation concessions, no meaningful job protection improvements, no major changes to new-hire pay structure/hotel situation. But there will be a pension increase, at least for some pilots. New-hires will get locked out of it. Hiring and 4a2c exit will quickly follow the deal if ratified.

If AB is able to pull off a miracle and get a TA without all that stuff that PM handed over to the company during the best negotiating environment in FedEx pilot history, we all owe him a ton of beer. More likely than not though, it will be like the Frontier contract he negotiated that increased pay but brought PBS in.
