With all the stresses of the past year, both in the national economy and here at our company, I would like to encourage each of you to take advantage of the additional time off presented to us under our overstaffed condition of 4a2b.

As a small silver lining and maybe overlooked benefit, the reduced schedules being built by FedEx has given our pilot group an unprecedented opportunity for time off during our normally busy peak season. Possibly the best way to decompress from the many stresses of this past year may just be a little R&R to help start 2010 refreshed.

This December, be sure to maximize your time with your families and friends during this holiday season and remember the things that are important to you. As the economy recovers, we may never again have such an opportunity for a little time at home during the holiday season.

Hoping for a happy holiday season and a Merry Christmas to each of you and your families!

Sincerely,

Your Fellow Pilot
