Surprised at the speed that the TA was reached. Confirms what my block rep said in that the company was very motivated to get a deal done. It will be interesting to see the details

Anyone notice the companies response to the FAA crew rest proposal says it would require 812 new pilots at FedEx. This coupled with a Hong Kong expansion, Europe FDA, 1000 eligible pilot retirements and a recovering economy; no wonder the company wants a quick CBA.

I just skimmed Fedex's response to NPRM. Boy, are they full of it! 90 sleep rooms and some lazyboys afford us all to get some great rest? The annual fatigue training is also helpful. I didn't see them mention that all fatigue calls would be investigated.

I hadn't seen their response. It is actually very funny!

Look for hotels to be alot closer to the airport .......so much for the 30 minute van rides to the downtown Westin with the new rest rules

I wonder what this means?

"the only thing sacrificed is some time on the calendar, which was quite likely to occur anyway. There are no give backs."

The ensuing negotiations were comprehensive in what the new contract would contain and, equally important, not contain.
Consequently, it was also important to put into place a mechanism that allows the parties to continue meeting in the interim with the hope of narrowing the differences so that once bargaining resumes we can resolve all outstanding issues in an expedited manner. Unlike other properties where the parties retreat to their trenches after achieving a CBA, we have a written commitment that guarantees continued discussions between now and our next amendable date.
I'm guessing a TA with very minimal change to Sections 4, 12 and 25. Perhaps a clause that these sections will be reopened to negotiations when the NPRM ruling comes to fruition.... My WAG...

I kinda got the impression that both sides realized that negotiating on work rules was a waste of time until the NPRM comes to fruition.

So we get 3% ish, some improvements in FDA LOA language, etc.

and they get do the FDA thing again

Ready, break ... see ya in 12 months

what am i missing?
