Simple Jack,

I'm retired and no longer have a dog in this fight but was subjected to this crap for many years while on the MD-11. I appreciate the effort you have put in for the good of most of the Fedex Pilots. If your theory is accurate it amazes me how the managers, who must have known exactly what was happening, allowed this to continue for years. For a company who used to preach "GFT" or Guarantied Fair Treatment it makes me wonder if the founder would have approved of the back ended way of getting sweet trips. The pilots doing this and the managers that allowed it to happen should be ashamed of themselves.
