Tony-

We are short of crews now. Even if the T/A passes we will have 1,057 pilots turning 65 (not counting the rest of 2015) between now and 2021.

The rep that I referenced has stated that we are giving back 5, 10, 15% (which is it and of what?) if we vote this T/A in. And, as a result an X number of pilots will A- not be hired or B- forced to down bid or C- FURLOUGHED? or a combination of all three.

It's a totally ridiculous argument and it smacks of fear mongering. In fact, if a pro T/A person had made them it would be trumpeted loud and long as fear mongering.

Also, I read that statement by FDX management as saying their company wide cost saving efforts would help to defray the gains made in this T/A. But then I'm spineless, need to grow a sack and man up...
