“Ultimately, any decision to reeengage will be a collective decision” - what a bunch of BS from the MEC I used to have faith in, unless “collective” meant at the MEC level only.

We just had our a$$es handed to us in 2015, and now we are eager to become the first pilot group EVER to negotiate away a DB plan, outside of Section 6, and outside of it being forced upon us during Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Oh, and in the midst of record profits for the corporation.

I was told many times “FDX has the best pay, but you’ll be flying with a group of guys who are dumb enough to vote YES on anything put in front of them for a vote”. Well, I didn’t want to believe it then, but I can see how this will play out already...

The train has left the station, and the same du*****es who sold the 2015 TA, will be selling us on the VB plan. That goes for this board and JF as well.

Just think about how the VB plan compared to the DB plan would’ve fared for you during 2008-2012.

Yeah. Let’s vote yes for the 25+ crowd, clearly that’s who this is for; oh, and maybe to help out the poor little corporation too, since our 2015 contract hasn’t done enough for our cash and retirement-strapped management team .

Managment is probably having a hard time figuring out how we are coming back for more on retiement after we got spanked so badly on it just 2 years ago. They are probably realizing that the level of greed we have, which motivates us to sell out guys below our seniority, is beyond their original expectations.

We think we are management, when in reality we are labor. However, management folks would never be dumb enough to swap their current retiement plan in exchange for one with greater risk. We probably are. Our vote will confirm it. Of course, I very much hope I’m wrong.
