Going to have to say you may be incorrect on that issue.
No I think I'm going to have to say that you are "incorrect" on that issue and actually back it up with citation.
"Some readers posting online comments under a story Wednesday about FedEx and UPS corporate lobbying appeared to confuse it with campaign contributions from the companies' political action committees. In many instances, contributions to their PACs come from employees."
"FedEx is determined to make sure that this year's Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization Act does not contain a provision that would make it easier for the International Brotherhood of Teamsters to organize some of its Express workers."
Maybe this article can be a start to clearing up the confusion here.

I stand, at least partially, corrected. Read through the shareholder report that was posted on the homepage today.....I'm sure it would be in there somewhere if FedEx has checks cut straight to congress...maybe that's under the "goodwill" category.
As far as the private jets....you can always check flightaware.com, don't know who....but where at least, if you know the tail numbers and they haven't been asked to remove them.
