Disclaimer - I’m still in the midst of multiple days of trudging through hours of videos and reading to try and understand this as a new guy.


One thing that I can’t get past is the high 5/FAE thing and getting rid of the only known quantity.

I don’t think I’m alone in that probably the biggest reasons I chose FedEx is the flexibility and the pension. I’m happy for DAL and the profit sharing, but it isn’t a pension. Pay is neat, but also not at the top any longer. I know - completely different discussion.

If we lose the FAE and go to a career average, aren’t there layers of second and third order negative effects? Let alone giving up a guaranteed pension that I can count on.

It’s a game changer that wouldn’t be worth double the hourly rate in my opinion.

What am I missing?
