[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 865662, member: 12508"] The [I]original [/I]Federal Express, with a small fleet of Falcons and vans, probably qualified as an airline. The present version of FedEx, which has evolved into a systems integrator and not an airline, definitely does not. Most employees never see an airplane in-person and get their freight via CTV, and the percentage of employees who would qualify as true airline workers is a very small portion of the employee "pie". Fred's argument that FedEx is still an airline is quite weak, which is why he has to pump millions into politicians who will make sure we're kept under the auspices of a newly restrictive RLA. This is the main reason that the FAA Reauthorization Bill has gone nowhere for the last year. Just being under the RLA isn't good enough for Fred now, because the Obama administration wants to change the voting process so workers have an actual chance to unionize. This is why Fred (and the airlines) want to amend the changes so every abstaining worker is counted as a "no", ensuring that workers can never unionize. Since he's so good to us, why is he so afraid that his loyal employees will vote-in a union? The answer is quite obvious. [/QUOTE]
