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.[/QUOTE]
Open skies is what allowed this company to become what it is today. The routes that were acquired with the Tiger deal leveraged with open skies is the reason we were able to grow so much in the 90's. If you look at the seniority list almost 2/3's of the pilot force where hired since 95. Open skies is why we have a job. No surprise that the suits support it.
