Mesa and Air Wisconsin pilots today rejected tentative agreements that were well short of their expectations. They live in the same reality we do with the same NMB. How is it they have such a different view of their plight?
Captain BM,
Can you share some of your costing information to back up even 500 million of efficiency gains in this CBA for FDX? I personally think you are taking the executives comment completely out of context as they are certainly doing their best to spin negative financial news by restating that the longtime war on cost (Corporation wide) will continue to capture the money they need to maintain and improve FDX stock performance. I look forward to seeing your analysis.
Lastly, while Air Willy and Mesa may live in the same NMB world, they live in a 3rd world compared to what we have in front of us to vote on than what they turned down. They literally have nothing to lose and a vast majority of their pilots are doing everything they can to leave those jobs. To compare a TA rejection at that level to anything we are looking at is simply ridiculous.
