Wow, there's a sensitive spot. The reason you're not included with FAPAInvest is because you were not here. There is no new hire contribution to FAPAInvest because you knew exactly what your pay was going to be when you got hired. Pretty simple. We have been working under a bad contract much longer than you so I'm not sure why you're so upset. Let the process work itself out and when the day a strike comes we will all have fun.
As far as captains talking about FAPAInvest to their FO's, yes, I can see that as quite annoying. Just tell them "you realize I'm not a part of FAPAInvest, don't you." That should politely shut them up pretty quick.
And you're right if it makes you feel better, FAPAInvest is nothing more than a promise. That's all it is.
