I never would have brought this lawsuit; unfortunately, it was done on our behalf. I agree the plaintiff's argument "FedEx could afford it" is very weak. However, the plaintiff does make a sound argument regarding the A-plan since it was FedEx pilots' number one priority -- in other words the union failed to meet the expectations. But after saying that, I don't think the real argument they make is "we could have received more from the company", even though a lot of us believe we could have and the plaintiff says that in the lawsuit. I believe the crux of the argument is the alleged misrepresentation of the TA facts.
I agree everyone was given the TA in paper form. However, the alleged errors were brought to the union's attention and the NC kept stating the alleged wrong information.
Unfortunately the issue is now in the hands of the courts.
