That's absolute BS. Union needs to grow a pair for crying out loud! They should be holding the companies feet to the fire and by extension, Fedex putting a ton of pressure on those governments to lift such draconian restrictions.
If not, stop all incoming flights and hit them in the wallet. Makes my worst regional airline layover seem like the Grand Hyatt Penthouse Suite. Literally being detained on ones room is unacceptable, doubly so when almost everyone is now vaccinated.
I can't even imagine if someone tests positive on arrival. What happens then in terms of quarantine conditions and/or transport back home, and what kind of pay protection to go with it.
No wonder 777 CA is just 5 yrs

And your point is? You are either on duty, required to answer the phone or respond to messages from the company, or you aren't. If they want you available, they can add a duty period to your layover. If you choose to respond to notes or answer the phone while you are not on duty, that is your choice.

They're not. Japan is the most common country where you hear this. The rules have been translated and are checked regularly by a Covid working group at ALPA. Same rules for everyone. FedEx is just more diligent about publishing the rules to their pilots and making sure they're followed. Pilots and FAs at other airlines who are going out in NRT or KIX just aren't abiding by the rules. Either they're choosing to ignore them or interpret what they've been told to their advantage or their company is content in letting them deal with whatever consequences arise from their actions. FedEx is run by lawyers and is much too concerned about brand damage or freight not moving to let their pilots make those mistakes.
But our pilots see crews from other airlines ignore the rules and assume incorrectly theirs are different

I bet it’s more likely that the FDX attorneys interpreting the rules strictly.
