FedEx Reaches Tentative Agreement with Pilots

Federal Express Corporation and the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) have reached a tentative agreement that, if ratified, will provide its 5,000+ FedEx pilots with an industry-leading collective bargaining agreement. FedEx would like to thank both negotiating committees as well as the National Mediation Board and its professional mediators, whose assistance was invaluable. "This tentative agreement reflects our commitment to our valued crew members and to our growth strategy for the airline and the business as a whole," said Richard W. Smith, chief operating officer, International & chief executive officer, Airline. "It's a win-win for our pilots, for FedEx, and for our customers around the world."
