FedEx's contract became the creme de la creme when the passenger airline contracts fell due to furlough. But now that the passenger industry has righted itself and consolidated into four very strong and profitable companies, the FedEx pilot contract (which never set the bar in airline contracts) will fall to the bottom of the pack. Considering the FedEx pilots ratified Family Guy's piece of crap C2015 which spans six years, the Fedex contract will fall further behind and the FedEx pilots will lose even more money due to inflation chomping away at the retirement.
Concur on all points. People, stop going on about the jumpseating language, please, that is focusing on a minor issue. We have bigger issues to work out, and yes, our extraordinarily lengthy contract is going to make us fall from the top of the pack to the middle or lower!
