I agree. Eliminating passover pay in the engineer seat and filling the FDA are the ultimate motives of these excesses. I, for one, am not going to freak out until after the multiple excesses and the 777 bid. By that time the seniority lists on the Bus and Maddog will look a lot like they do now.

As we all know, there are probably 20 wonderboys in a room in MEM figuring out how to make this all work while minimizing total cost. Half of them are cost analysts and half are lawyers to interpret the contract. I really don't see how relocating so many pilots, and thusly paying the relocation costs (move packages) is going to save FedEx money in the long run.

JMHO.
