Doesn't that means you have logged 1104 hours of pay this year?

27.I.3
"Effective with respect to credit hours paid on or after November 2, 2015, the Company will contribute to the VEBA $1.00, plus an addi- tional $0.05 on the first day of each November bid period thereafter, for each paid credit hour for each pilot having a Master Seniority List num- ber (which would otherwise be paid to the pilot in cash) as the pilot’s ongoing monthly contribution to the PRP/VEBA."

You read and understood this document when you decided to vote YES????

It is currently $1.15 /CH. $1,104/1.15$/CH = 960 hrs sounds like min guarantee for a year.

You realize we haven’t received our oct 31 pay stubs. What is that 200 hours short of guarantee since it isn’t even peak yet? Can you look at a calendar : very happy with this version of the VEBA from contract 2006 improved in 2015.

Feeling a little snarky this morning? Enjoy a second cup of coffee!

I don't mind THIS VEBA either! But I knew what was written before deciding how to vote!

Dude reread my post it was a simple question. I knew the VEBA went up. If anyone was a snarky it was certainly you.

$1104/1104 hours of pay = $1.00

BTW, I didn't throw any insults at you! Stay classy!

I guess I should have put approximately in there for the haters. Did you question flying boxes on his incorrect assertion that 960 is guarantee through 15 October? Come back when you have something substantive.

Are you guys at purple impacted by this or is it just corporate employees? Article says big changes in medical coverage in 2020 including surcharges for spouse and no benefits for domestic partnerships.

“Surcharge for spouses added
If an employee’s spouse declines medical insurance offered through his or her own job in favor of FedEx’s health plan, the employee will pay a $150 surcharge every month, according to a document summarizing the benefits changes.

According to a 2019 survey from professional services network PricewaterhouseCoopers, the median surcharge for spouses with coverage access through another employer is $100 a month.”

No, does not apply to us, although they did send us an email about it accidentally.
