FedEx has tentatively agreed a new five-year contract with its 3,000 pilots, including pay increases partly linked to profitability and work-rule changes to improve flexibility and productivity. FedEx pilots, who took industrial action when talks broke down, have yet to vote on the deal. The carrier began direct US-China cargo services on 19 March with a weekly Boeing 747-200 flight from New York to Anchorage, Beijing and Shanghai.
