Default Working "100%" at FedEx??

Hello all,

I am currently trying to get in at FedEx, I am retiring from the Air Force at the end of July. I have been reading the threads concerning the current contract negotiations and how the pilots should fly and work 100% and no more.

As a new hire (which I hope to be), the first year salary is a bit low compared to my current income (even when added to my projected retirement payment). My question is this: If I tried to fly some extra hours to make up the difference and keep our bills/ finances in as best a shape as I can, would this be viewed as a bad thing, possibly "disloyal" to the union?

I have no previous experience with a union (I've been military [read:"sheltered"] almost 24 years!) and am curioius. I do plan on joining the union if I get hired.

Opinions please...Thanks in advance.
