I think most of us feel seniority is very mportant, but most junionr guys feel like ALPA could give a flying BLEEP about us. Just look at how the passenger guys have left thier young hung out to dry during all this post 911 down turn. In the case of FedEx ALPA, it's seems like they have gone physco, because when a majority of membership wants one position, and our MEC takes the opposite---well it just don't make sense. In the end, the junior guys get screwed once again.

I still think that for ALPA to change it's position on the age 60 legislation shows weakness. Let's hold the line and fight the good fight, not give in because we think/know we will lose. For FedEx ALPA to flip flop on this, and then go hard over rudder for retroactively bringing guys back makes absolutely no sense. Hey, did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
