Question that boggles me

Such a meager amount I'm sure you'll just donate it to P4P or the charity of your choice.
FWIW-Scope penalty was $1486 in 2016 and $216 in 2017 (for exceeding Scope clause previous months surrounding peak)
Quite confident it's going to be much larger.
Contacted my rep a couple of months ago to suggest arranging a partial payment from the company since they're well beyond the historical norms of outsourcing lift.

Contractually, it's like running a tab at the bar. Determined when you close out the night. (See 1.B.6.a)

The wet leasing is contractual and normally only occurs during peak. We’ve been in a peak+ situation now for about 15 months. The wet leasing doesn’t bother me at all. Once the business drops off the wet leasing will end. Better than turning away business. We can’t have a year round fleet/pilot force based on peak needs. We’d be parking airplanes/furloughing pilots every January. Or going to min BLG or invoking 4a2b...
We are hiring like I’ve never seen in 31 years. Buying brand new airframes as fast as possible.
Wet leasing is not an issue IMO.

We can sit back and watch the company do this or that, or we can stand up.
"But but but but ... the RLA blah blah blah" "But they'll never let us strike" ....
Yeah yeah yeah, I know. We're a weak union.

You know, what a Strong Union would do.
Or would that be an illegal job action?

The wet leasing penalty will be: the averabe pay for a FedEx crew complement times the number of regular bid pack CH's that would've been earned by FedEx pilots but for the wet lease.
There is limited, permitted wet leasing that results in NO $$ to the crew force and that has been a regular occurrence over my 20+ years.
There are other, permitted, wet leasing exceptions that result in NO $$ to the crew force....but none of those apply to the current situation.

I suppose as long as you get your $86 a year of grievance bucks (or whatever paltry amount it is) you’ll keep quiet and believe it’s a strong scope clause.

We have scope language based on weight just like UPS. In certain situations they can use limited outside airplanes.
"All Domestic and International revenue flights conducted with aircraft
that are owned, leased, or operated by the Company, having a MTOGW
of greater than 60,000 lbs., and operated pursuant to the Company’s
Airline Operating Certificate or any additional Part 121 Airline Operating
Certificate obtained by the Company, shall be operated by pilots on
the Federal Express Master Seniority List in accordance with the terms
of the Agreement."

But I’m sure the union said it’s okay, we’re getting grievance money for it…?
Whats the point of a scope clause if the company can’t be held to it?

It’s disingenuous to say it’s forbidden; the 14,000 lb number has been exceeded 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year for going on 13 years.
