I agree - the prospect of a strike during the holidays (FDX busiest time of the year) is definitely holding it back. Problem is, historically managment doesn't like to bargain with the pilots. I guess there is always a first time - I hope. Good Luck, Tony D.

A tidbit I found today: BURRELLE'S/VMS NewsAlert Service 75 East Northfield Road/ Livingston, NJ / 973-992-6600 SOURCE: Traffic World - Print Circ 10,000 SUPPLIER: World Wide Web DATE: 10-27-98 TIME: 8:25 ET Tensions between the FedEx Pilots Association and management were taken to a new level. The union's negotiating committee voted to poll its members if a strike should be part of their arsenal against the company if negotiations don't come to a head soon. Meanwhile, the company sent a copy of its contract proposal to all 3,500 pilots before the union had a chance to review it, irking the negotiating committee. Members were expected to authorize a no-volunteer or overtime flying provision at the end of last week, further raising the urgency of the negotiations as the busy peak season begins.
