How does FedEx compare with that aspect of the pension? Is a future retiree exact pension payment uncertain like Brown's?

Fedex hasn’t had a pension benefit increase in years. Hopefully it will get addressed in any future TA (not a pancake plan ). The easiest change would be to raise the $260k earnings cap, leave all else the same. Even a “small” cap increase to $320k yields a $30k difference per year additional benefit, about a 23% increase. This 23% increase may on the surface seem like a lot, but that benefit has been unchanged for 20+ years I believe?

Also, how junior do the turn lines go?

Yes there turn lines, either morning turns and afternoon turns. SDF has the most turn lines, MIA has some night turns to South America, ONT has historically had one or two turn lines but didn't have any for the bid we're currently in.
Turns lines typically have 12 turn trips in each four week pay period, PM turn lines sometimes have 13.
I did turns for three years and they provided a great QOL living in domicile. PM turns go senior to AM turns.
