The Company wanted some changes to fix some foreign domicile issues, and the MEC agreed to negotiate an interim agreement prior to Section 6 that fixed the aforementioned issues and also allowed for 3% raises over 2 years while they continued to work through the outstanding issues. The intent was to shorten the negotiations timetable by continuing talks while still gaining contractual improvements, so that at the end of the two year interim agreement there would be little if any open issues. Management at FDX has used that to delay and protract negotiations even further, and on Oct. 31, FDX mgt. applied for mediation with the NMB, yet another stall tactic.
A more accurate way for me to say it would be that they have been in direct and comprehensive negotiations for 42 months. They are roughly 20 months beyond their most recent amendable date.
FYI, mgt. also dropped a "we want to terminate the pension" on the negotiations table last week. Gigantic azzhats in upper management over there.....

Don't forget that you can ask for a hotel room, so long as you live more than 50 miles from the training center.

The most senior pilot on reserve is guaranteed any day(s) off that he wants, so long as it results in a legal reserve line. With 1-14 reserve lines, at least one pilot is guaranteed to have any given day off. With 15-19 reserve lines, at least two pilots are guaranteed to have any given day off. With more than 19 reserve lines, at least 15% of reserve pilots are guaranteed to have any given day off.

YES you can. I have done that many times.
PWA 23.I
I. Personal Drop
1. A pilot may, via DBMS, submit one of the following requests to drop a rotation(s) or
reserve on-call day(s) that begins no earlier than the next day (see Section 23 E.):
a. PD, or
b. APD.
2. Next-day APD requests will be processed (before PD requests) each day, by category, in
seniority order among pilots who have submitted requests by 0700E on such day.
3. Next-day PD requests will be processed each day, by position, in seniority order among
pilots who have submitted requests by 0700E on such day.

Do unused payback days get liquidated at the end of the vacation year or do they carry over?

Short answer, they become supplemental days and you bid them with next years vacation. There is a way to use them in the first 3 months of the year but you need to reference the above to see how to do that.
