Reserve was talked about a lot. (Most of the Q&A) That was one of the high priorities of the surveys. Fixing how the secondary lines are worked is also being discussed (you put flight #xxx as your #1 choice but a CIC has already taken it- you lose your #1 choice). Guys being denied a drop or move due to "insufficient reserves" was a big complaint. But PIBS will make it better (HA!).

It was brought up. SL did address this as something they are looking at. However it will cause issues with PMU. The "good deal" of declining SUB will basically go away as the credit value won't change but the Priority part will.

Think there is any chance to do a dial in teleconference so guys can listen in. We do this all the time in the military and businesses do as well. 1-800 and a pass code is issued to all authorized participants.
Presentations can be uploaded to the fdx.alpa web site, downloaded by participants in a read-only format and the speaker can verbally state slide 1, blah blah, slide 2, etc.

Training (Sec 11) is a big section right now. Most guys won't care as it's only a small group but SS point was this will affect almost everyone. Company wants to move most of the Flexes back to the line - which will "add" 200-250 guys back to the flying role which will affect almost everyone's seniority. Also for guys going thru a new program, they may only see a line guy on their MV or LOE. Plus they want the CMV to be called something different and use non seniority guys to conduct those events. So a guy who has never set foot in a FedEx airplane to operate it can down you or tell you what you should be doing. And that's only a road to be like other carriers that have non seniority LCA's or FCA's…

Can't give a recap because I was there for just a very short time and had to leave. But I was really impressed with how many people were there. The place was packed, and they ran out of seats. Maybe 250-300 people there. If you think about how many people were working or were out of town at the time, that's an impressive number. A lot of enthusiasm and interest. Really impressed with our fearless union leader.
