This is why I was very surprised to see management FedEx come out against Open Skies.
Huh? Against open skies? The first line of their letter says they are writing to express strong support of open skies.[/QUOTE]
Sorry I screwed that up. Management is for OS, FedEx ALPA is against.
This is why I started this thread. But some seem to be fighting me (not you YYESIAV8). All I ask is that you don't shoot the messenger, except for when I typo, haha.
I'm not sure to what extent our union (FedEx ALPA) has studied the OS issue and how it would affect FedEx pilots. I think it would be wise of us to have a detail discussion or analysis of OS and its affects.
