The Atlanta-based company has informed its pilots about the decision, according to people familiar with the details, and the company also has pledged to move toward installing fire-suppression systems on a large chunk of its fleet of more than 200 cargo aircraft. The moves come as the House is scheduled to resume debate Friday on a broad Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization bill. [/QUOTE]
