Brilliant!!!! Now there is no excuse for not having the contract at your fingertips!!
If you already have MagicWebFX, the chm file is already on your computer. It's located (typically) in the Program Files\MagicWebFX folder and is named (uniquely) FDX-Contract2006.chm. Just Browse to that location and start the upload.
Alternatively:
Windows users: can download the FDX-Contract.exe file and extract it and upload the chm file.
Mac users: should follow the small link to the Mac page to download the chm file packed in a zip file.
Looks like I need to update the website with this great new tidbit.
Shameless plug: MagicWebFX is Your Pilot Website Secretary. Many great features. Second trial periods are available via email. And it works within the current Bot limitations.

large pdf on iphone
Has anyone figured out a good way to get the contract on their iPhone so it's available for offline reading?
I was leaning towards a .pdf reader and just downloading the file, but most of the reviews I've seen say that the reader is not very good for large files.
I just wanted to see if anyone has had any luck with other solutions.

PF, thanks for word on the ichm app - I was looking at the pdf solution too but would rather read my hyperlinked version. Hyperlinks are the only way to effectively read the contract and easily see all the cross-references.
I was happy to do it for Contract2006 as a fraternal contribution, and I'll do it again for the next contract too. I just need the MEC to provide me the word documents to make the conversion to the chm format.

Just did the ichm app and downloaded the contract. Awesome!! So simple a caveman can do it. I like the format on the iPhone, it is very easy to navigate. Thanks to all who made it happen!

For WM phones run the FDX-Contract.exe file on your PC then copy all the Contract files and folders into a \Contract folder on your device or storage card. The Opera Mobile browser Opera Mobile - Download works very well. Set up a Favorites link in the browser and you're all that and a bag o' chips. Also, ymmv

FDX ALPA Contract 2011 Available
Resurrecting this thread to announce that the 2011 version of the FDX ALPA Contract can be downloaded at MagicWebFX.net.
Just like the 2006 version, this one is a compiled HTML file that features embedded hyperlinks for all the paragraph references. New in this version: a "scales-like" marker to indicate sections that are affected by administrative rulings/settlements (just like on p.f.c.).
Always have the current contract at hand. There is a Tutorial on the website to help you put it on your smart phone and tablet as well as your computer.

Highly recommend having it available to refresh your memory. CRS Will screw you if they let them. Their whole goal is moving the freight and more than once I've heard something along the lines of "Oh, I didn't know that was against the contract" after calling them on it. Funny thing is they always believe me when i give them a paragraph. For some reason they don't seem to bother taking the time to look for it but just "trust" me then.....funny how they don't seem to have the same level of trust when I first tell them something's non-contractual
