If you were 60+ years old and the company reduced BLG to 48hours ,as required by the contract prior to furlough; would you keep your job or would you retire? That may be incentive enough to move some of them out into their rocking chairs and may actually stave off the furlough process. ...but then again, maybe not.

The contract doesn't seem very clear about it. It says the BLG shall be reduced for one month, but it doesn't say it shall stay low or it shall go back up.

From the CBA:
"At least a full bid period must follow the announcement of this action. "
I'm sure I'll hear from the Karate Kid for giving my interpretation...But, I would read that to mean the company must give one month's notice before lowering the min BLG.

As we all know, there are probably 20 wonderboys in a room in MEM figuring out how to make this all work while minimizing total cost. Half of them are cost analysts and half are lawyers to interpret the contract. I really don't see how relocating so many pilots, and thusly paying the relocation costs (move packages) is going to save FedEx money in the long run.

So, assuming they did reduce it to 48 hours (for one month or several), do the Reserve Line Holders still have to stand 15 days? That would suuuuuck. I can't find anything other than the Reserve Lines Shall be built to a maximum of 15/19 days.

It's about the health care---that's what the ND tell me.
