^^^^ There is an African proverb that goes something like this. "The axe forgets, the tree remembers."

12,000 plus trees here remember. They gave. They are still giving, and they are for the most part tired of it.

When you have a select groups of committee folks and reps who "bank on FPL and make way more than the average pilot," or tree in this case, we have problems.

Is there any doubt as to why these folks tried to table and bury the FPL resolutions? Is there any doubt as to why they continue to obstruct the will of the members of the local councils that made these resolutions?

When one makes FPL at what, 90 + hours a month, plus stipends, with the ability to white and g/s as well, and all of it funded by Delta, have they felt the axe?

Are they willing to fight for restoration? For FDX or UPS+, or even SWA rates. Or, will they be content to not rock the boat, keep the system the same, and attempt to sell everyone on a modest raise because of.... fill in the blank with the excuse du jour.

If those folks are getting paid on what ever they can hold vs. what category they are actually in, I'd venture that they have their restoration already.
