There was a grievance....they WERE gathering folks individual historical data....they aren't collecting it any more. I don't know the current status of the grievance, but the Accepted Fare folks have been rigid on the "new policy" for a couple of years + now.
If anyone has heard the status of the grievance.....please share.

The PUBLISHED accepted fare is all you will get in your deviation bank and/or on your expense report - PERIOD.
No one at Global Travel will take responsibility for actually setting the monthly Accepted Fares - nor will they explain to any crew member thier method of arriving at said Accepted Fares.
For all we know, they could just pull them out of thin air, and there is (has been) absolutely NO accountability on the fares they set.
No one you call and/or email can or will change it.
This has been my experience over the last two years or so.
If you (or anyone) finds out anything different, please post the info here. Good luck, but don't hold your breath.
Plan all your deviating travel payments based on the Accepted Fare, 'cause that's all you will get if you deviate.
But, remember, FedEx is a "great" place to work! The deadhead travel policy is MUCH better than UPS!
Keep that in mind when you're forking over the extra $100.00 for your ticket.
