Below is a statement from our pilot friendly Maury Lane:

"Today, UPS and the Teamsters succeeded in persuading this Congressional committee to rewrite the RLA in a way that would affect just one company—UPS’s main competitor, FedEx Express. The reason is that both UPS and the union would benefit if the union’s disruptive organizing tactics were allowed to disrupt FedEx’s vital airline express delivery system. Although FedEx Express is less than half the size of UPS, FedEx Express handles time-sensitive packages, most of them transported by air and vital to today’s fast-paced economy."
