So I'm a bit confused...did the LOA pass or not?

Leslie:

This is not referring to the actual LOA, which, yes passed by a vote of 68 % to 32 % a while ago.

This is referring to something called an "FDA Letter of Agreement", which pilots who go to HKG and CDG are required to sign prior to going. If the pilot choses not to sign the agreement, he/she doesn't go.

So what's all of this stuff that's been on here about the upcoming bid on Feb 18th, and the poast giving top 10 reasons not to vote for it etc? I'm not a pilot yet but I do want to fly for FedEx one day and I like keeping up with all of this

You're missing the point a bit. This has nothing to do with a vote. The vote has already came, went, and passed.

This is about signing a letter of agreement that pilots are required to sign, should they wish to go to an FDA. If, after being awarded an FDA, circumstances arise (unanswered questions, family issues, financial issues, etc) the pilot changes his mind and no longer wishes to go to an FDA, he/she can simply choose not to sign the letter. Reference paragraph c from the LOA (the first post).

When the company has opening in particular locations or aircraft the company will hold a "bid" for those "seats". Normally the most senior person gets the first choice or "bid".
