From the outside looking in it seems there isn't a cohesive viewpoint in the cargo community about whether a cutout is a good thing or bad. Is fdx alpa addressing this and it's not getting pushed to the forum, misinformation, or just unknown?
From a hopeful someday fdx commuter, it seems like this decision could have a major impact on a commuter lifestyle.

Yes, and therein lies the paradox. We've (airline pilots) been pushing for better work rules, especially those concerning duty time and rest between flights, since the first jet aircraft were delivered to Pan Am, TWA, Eastern, etc, etc, and now that we're on the verge of something positive actually happening, there are those in this profession, who still don't see "el picture grande." No doubt, the changes could very likely effect our quality of life somewhat, but the tradeoff would hopefully be that we'd operate, day in and day out, in a much safer mode, because we've been allowed to get adequate rest. Personally I feel it's a good tradeoff. At least for now.

We're "allowed" to get adequate rest right now, at least as it pertains to commuting. Whether you choose to do so or not is your personal and professional responsibility.
I would consider that tradeoff a lose-lose.
