And if so, I am pretty sure some disclaimer saying that ALPA doesn't necessarily agree with what was presented and has no legal accountablity should suffice. In my opinion, that is week.
The last time FDX-ALPA/FPA did a webcast, in the Fall of '98, a FedEx manager pilot negotiating across the table from the union negotiators sued the union and certain individuals - he lost his medical for a while too!
The results of the eventual settlement have never been disclosed, but I wonder if maybe they (we) are still gun shy!
