FDX - MEM MD-11 Disputed Pairings - APR 2015

Again, from the SIG Notes, Page 2:
I've got several important events next month, and I need to clear 5 days off my calendar. Working on a couple of those Saturdays would really, really help. But flying those Disputed Pairings would be a slap in the face to the PSIT. Let's all support the PSIT, and ensure that the pairings are revised to a safer sequence, or at least NOT flown by volunteers.
Trip 186/15APR is already on a Captain's schedule. Let's make sure the rest of them stay in Open Time.

MEM MD11 Disputed Pairs: #3/4,11,25APR; #186/15APR There are two disputed pairings this month, which affects a total of four dates. The reason for the dispute is the same for both pairings. The leg to ANC is a high-block, critical-departure segment. This is followed by a short layover in ANC and then another high block, critical departure to MEM. We feel that this sequence does not allow the crew adequate rest for the high block time required in such a short period of time. [Reminder: As with any pairing, should you experience an issue that requires attention we ask that you file the appropriate POR and, if necessary, a Fatigue Report/SIG PIREP.]
