Guys...

From an outsider looking in, what does Fedex get out of alpa that they could not get with an inhouse union? Before you say "a seat at the table", it seems to me the seat you were assigned was a high chair. Out of all the alpa airlines, fedex has the most pilots affected by the proposed rule change to 65. Other airlines may stagnate some, but fedex pilots actually run the risk of losing relative seat seniority by ropes moving back to window seats.

I know this is a "done deal", but don't agree with the argument that you have to be onboard to affect policy. Maintaining a "hell no" attitude may not win you any friends at national alpa, but what have they done for you lately?
