FDX would see a big furlough if they imposed PBS. Not to mention a tremendous loss of our quality of life. We would NEVER get that back. The only thing keeping them from doing it is a union.
There is often no reasoning with management. Look at FDX. Instead of getting what we are telling them they are "rolling up sleeves for better communication". Despite the Message Lines, FCIFs, blog and BBQ events, they just know the way out of the impasse is to find another way to get their message across. They really think we aren't listening when, in fact, it is they who need to learn how to listen. Reminds me of a Captain or two.
