I am happy that we are going to start flying to one of my favorite places on the planet, the Caribbean.
However, upon further inspection I am angry that FedEx has been using pilots not on the master seniority list to fly planes greater than 60,000 for "several years."
Caribbean Transportation Service and FedEx have literally been flying a couple of Airbuses through the hole in Sec.1.b.4. of our contract:
"Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company may continue to interline, co-load, code-share, part charter and enter into block space agreements with other carriers to move freight and service international (
outside the contiguous 48 states) markets as required. Within the domestic system (the contiguous 48 United States) the use of the above shall be done only: (1) when necessary to expedite or (2) when economically necessary, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties."
Glad we are going to start flying the stuff we should have been all along. Break out the rum indeed!
