We go to work, we work hard (at terrible hours!), we sacrifice time and holidays with our families. It would be interesting to see how our "on-time stats" compare with our passenger carrying peers?
I bet Fred doesn't negotiate for 5 years to get a cost of living increase (notice that I didn't say "raise"). We shouldn't have to either! We've earned and deserve more respect than we receive (AND A RAISE)! FedEx can afford it!*?
I don't want to be treated like Fortune 100 Executives but please treat us like the mid level managers that we are. I don't think that's being unreasonable?
I like Fred too, in fact I revere him for setting up this wonderful company and giving me and my family financial stability. I'm GLAD he's worth $3.8G, but I've been without a contract for 3.8+ years and I'm disappointed that he hasn't grabbed the collection of Ivy league suits at Hacks Cross and said to them:
"What are you doing? This isn't the way that I want this company run-"
