I can't Figure this out. Most are upset because of purchasing an airline and bringing on their pilots then most are upset about letting go pilots of the airline you bought. Which is it?
It is both. If UPS were to buy us I think the Gemini guys would be gone. We only have 4 MD11s. I don't think UPS wants to run our DC-10-30s.
If FedEx were to buy us then there is something in the ALPA bylaws about integration. The argument was made that the Jr guys at FedEx would lose about 200 places with a straight DOH intergration. The Sr guys at Gemini would not be able to hold widebody Capt. That is what these guys are talking about.
It is like talking about winning the lottery, you can talk about what you are going to do with all that money. Until it actually happens it is all hot air. If there are any Gemini guys thinking of FedEx buying us so you can go work there, the only way you are going to wear a FedEx uniform is to apply, interview and get hired.
