In reference to the "message from the mec" email tonight, I find it appalling that they are trying to spin this by using the "Overwhelming majority of fdx pilots do not favor a change to age 60", but then go on to say, "66% of pilots alpa wide want our union to influence the change if change is imminent."

OK, FDX pilots don't want it by an overwhelming majority, and 66% of ALPA-wide pilots (non-fdx) want the union involved if it's going to change. Excuse me, but if FDX pilots don't want it why is our MEC pushing forward with other ALPA-wide statistics?

As for retroactivity, "but we also know that protecting seniority is the right thing to do for the right reasons", screw you Dave. Did you not shutdown and settle (for nothing I might add) our recent grievances about training and transferring pilots out of seniority? Let me guess, if seniority is so sacred, why did a bunch of us junior guys get screwed? That one cost me 30 grand, I'm not going to let you stiff me again.

Listen to your people Dave, they're trying to tell you something.
