OK stupidpilot got jumped on pretty good there but I have to ask a question along the same lines. Exactly what are the things that are unfair in the current contract. I'm not asking b/c I think you guys are whining or that the contract is fair but more so b/c I hope to work there soon and I'm curious what the problem is. I know several FDX pilots both NH and guys who have been there a while (10-15 yrs) and most say they're pretty happy.
BTW, I'm not one of those guys who "never left the pattern" as was previously mentioned. I welcome a 16 hr day b/c I usually do 20-24, 3am is usually about the time I coast out after air refueling 12 hours into my duty day, and the idea of having a clue when are where i'm flying more than 3 days out is unheard of. Obviously, I'm a military pilot and I'm not trying to make this into a battle of who has the harder job but hopefully that gives me enough credibility to ask the above question. Once again if you guys are getting screwed or not fairly compensated then you should definitely take it to the leadership but for a guy on the outside looking in what is the foul against the company?
