I understand there are issues here,but in my heart I just can't vote for this TA. When as a pilot group have we really said to FedEx, enough is enough? Never. This is my last contract and so it really won't make much difference to me. I feel sorry for the rest of the hard working crew getting exploited for the next 10 years. We have never had a better opportunity to really make this an industry leading contract. 767 sims , new hires quitting, ie the $4000 new hire pay/fda pay. Vacation cancellations in all seats except 75 FO, Trips not being operated due to no crew! Max BLG, no drops, ect due to staffing. We didn't create this issue FDX did! Its is time to show some resolve and tell it to the MEC and NC. We are tired! You have to do what is right and acceptable. Wait til the next divert? We made this company what it is and I am sick of begging for the scraps. Peak is just around the corner and if FDX expects the good will of the pilot crew force to make stuff happen again, I hope collectively we can respond! Hello, we need testicular fortitude! I just made that up, Ha.
Never forget , we are the amazing pilots that make this FDX thing work in the worst conditions possible know to man! or women. Sorry
I know there are people that will disagree, that is good, but the bottom line for me. I can Not vote for this in good faith for me and my fellow crew members. If Im wrong tell me what it like to be "spam in a can" in the 767 in a few years.
