I would much rather go through 4a2b again than have guys get furloughed. Though I'm way too senior to have it happen to me, I've been through that before and it really sucks.

I can't imagine blaming UPS pilots for any contract concessions or lack of progress that they make, for our lack of progress in negotiations. Each union is responsible for their own pilots, and if you can't get a decent contract with a cohesive group like UPS has, you sure can't expect FedEx pilots to negotiate your contract for you.
