[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1983753, member: 12508"] FedEx has ordered quite a few new 767s and 777s from Boeing, and they have options for more. Fred's initial 777 order had a clause that allowed him to cancel if the RLA was amended to make it easier for FedEx workers to organize, something the Obama administration was attempting to do at that time. Smith could be getting back at his pilots, but I personally think it's more about having a more fuel-efficient fleet. A smart move, but about 20 years late. Guess what? The senators from Boeing (Washington State), plus Fred's influence killed the RLA liberalization move, and Fred bought the planes. I fully expect that there is similar language in his current contract with Boeing. It's stuff like this that make Smith such a legendary weasel, as in politically leveraging however possible to keep us non-union and under his cheap thumb. What an A-hole. [/QUOTE]
