[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 329765, member: 12508"] Sorry Winger, but your info is a bit out of date. FedEx pilots are ALPA members, having abandoned their in-house union long ago because Fred was still managing to pull the strings. As far as contingency plans using railroads, I find that a bit hard to believe, since getting freight across the country by rail takes at least a couple of days, even via hotshot priority trains (ask UPS). Not exactly the prescription for an overnight or 2-day service. Using the commercial airlines wouldn't work either because there isn't enough belly capacity on passenger carriers to fly even a fraction of FedEx volume. Also, please cite the business texts that have the story of Fred's negotiations with the pilots....I'd like to read them. [/QUOTE]
