Default FDX - Aug08 Disputed Pairings

ALPA's founders chose "Schedule with Safety" as our motto. The SIG/PSIT is Scheduling for OUR Safety !!

Support them in upholding the standard -- Don't fly disputed pairings!

Remind those you know who fly disputed pairs, either by force or by choice, to fill out a Critique Sheet on their experiences (or email/call the SIG) so they have ammunition for the disputed pairs resolution process.

===== SIG Notes Contents ==========

Disputed Pairings

The following is the FedEx MEC’s definitive list of the pairings that are disputed for August 2008. These pairings should not be available in any bid pack lines and should not be assigned to any secondary lines without a specific request, by pairing number, from the crewmember to do so. The comments associated with the disputes are those of the ALPA SIG/PSIT.

A300 HKG, A300 MEM, A300 SFS, B727 MEM, B757 MEM, DC-10 MEM, MD-11 ANC, MD-11 LAX:
None

MD-11 MEM
#207/29 Jul
#207/05 Aug
#207/12 Aug

We originally submitted 16 pairings into the monthly dispute resolution process but only pairing 207 remained in dispute. This pairing operates 3 times during the bid period and has rolling duty periods that operate in the critical, night, day, critical, and night periods. We feel this design does not provide our crewmembers with adequate rest periods and is an example of circadian rhythm disruptions in our pairings. If you are awarded this pairing on reserve, please provide us with your critique and sleep logs.

Question Business as usual

All I can say is, it's business as usual here at Fedex. The old motto, "I've got mine, "F" you" is alive and well. We will never get anything accomplished around here as long as we have guy's who can look at themselves in the mirror in the morning and say "I don't have a problem with screwing my fellow ALPA members, as long as I get what I want". They flew draft and volunteer during negotiation, they continue to fly disputed pairings and qualify them to be "UN" disputed. So how do we win? I've been trying to figure this out for 23 year's. It's a losing battle. To put it into term's that all the military boy's can understand....I wouldn't want ANY of those guy's to be my wingman!!!

Default disputed parings

Forgive me for asking, I'm not a Fedex employee, but what's wrong with the dp's? Myabe I shouldn't be in this forum, but just reading and trying to get a handle on what the dispute is, but can't see pairings.

It is declared onerous by the union people who do our schedule. Could be one or two issues generally having to do with rest issues.

Nothing to do with DP's (hopefully) but the VTO lines are already available on future trips, in the bus. This is the earliest I've ever seen them available.
