FedEx pilots are fed up, blaming poor conditions and a rise in Covid cases during a record-breaking peak season. The pilots said “conditions are significantly worsening during our busiest season and many pilots are at or near their physical and psychological limits”. Some 185 out of 5,000 union pilots have tested positive for Covid-19 and FedEx responded that it had “taken extensive measures to address aspects of crew member safety”, reports Commercial Appeal.
