It's my belief that FedEx will not furlough. Guys in ANC, guys in HKG, paid moves, training cycles, I just don't see it. But they will make you think they will
Here's what I think:
1. Orders came down from on high to cut pilot pay;
2. They looked at the contract. Only way they could lower pilot pay is when they are preventing a furlough.
3. They use the required language so they can abide by the contract. They can't say, "We're cutting pilot salaries." They
can say, "We're cutting pilot salaries to prevent a furlough."
