Default No Concessions

No Concessions Period. Consider the latest press release below:

"FedEx Corp. reported the following consolidated results for the second quarter:

Revenue of $11.4 billion, up 3% from $11.1 billion the previous year
Operating income of $827 million, up 15% from $718 million last year
Operating margin of 7.3%, up from 6.5% the previous year
Net income of $500 million, up 14% from last year's $438 million"

This company makes a ton of money...always has as far back as I remember. We cannot allow ANY concessions in this contract. Not only is it unwarranted, WE HAVE CONTRIBUTED to the success of the corporation in immeasurable ways. While some in mgt would love to stick it to the new guys then ride off into the sunset streaming a golden parachute only WE can say no. I will vote no to ANY attempt to screw a pilot on the property now or a kid that is building time with dreams of flying here. We simply can't allow this. I don't give a hoot what "Legacy" carriers have or do. It's apples to oranges.
