You don't seem to understand the difference between an illegal job action in violation of status quo during section 6 negotiations (which is what you're talking about) and a union supported safety issue when our members are being pushed to work in conditions that are unsafe. That's the whole reason ALPA came into existence in the first place. There's no law against a union supporting it's members in refusing to fly under conditions that clearly violate basic safety practices and put those members at risk, either immediate or later when they are refused basic medical care due to quarantine restrictions.
Its pretty hard for FDX ALPA to file a lawsuit when all the CDC and State Department restrictions specifically have a "Cargo Cut Out". Are you seeing the light why the 117 "Cargo Cutout" is bad and why you cant constantly say "oh we are different". I would say this situation was perfect timing to adjust your thinking with being cool with FDX being carved out of 117.

Nice try, but that cut-out would still be in place even if we already were under 117. No one wants to halt the movement of critical goods and it’s being argued cargo is essential to moving necessary goods to combat the outbreak and maintain economic stability. That has nothing to do with 117 rest requirements.

Interesting FCIF and Email from company. FCIF was deleted in a few minutes. The email says the Union and company had negotiated a settlement like the UPS one. You dont have to go to China and if you do its draft

It's a 777 agreement. There are 5 trips in the entire Feb bidpack for HKG that don't touch China. So if HKG based pilots don't want to fly to China, most aren't going to get paid. March has 2 pairings that occur a total of 9 times.
