"A very late explanation about how the push for age 65 went down. This created some heated finger pointing. Part of what DW said was while 65% of the panel at national was for age 65 change, 85% were for the retro part DW introduced. He said no other rep was going to introduce retro. DW thought it was the right thing to do so after age 65 changed to give those guys on the property over 60 the ability to excercise their seniority rights. He also said it would have put FDX ALPA on the wrong side of any litigation."

Wonder why 85% voted for retro? They don't have any engineers so why should they care. If retro effected them, allowed over 60 retired guys the ability to come back, I wonder what the vote would have been! They probably thought, "If Fedex is so stupid that they want to not only delay seat progression, but actually lose seniority, let them have it!" And who cares about litigation, FDX ALPA isn't responsible for ALPA nationals agenda. I'll bet NWA didn't vote for retro. Were they scared too? These excuses are so lame that it really ****es me off. He hooked up his friends...End of story...

For all of those that got their bids cancelled or upgrades delayed due to retro. Thank DW for doing the "right thing."

It's amazing to me that DW talks of furloughs, dropping BLG, etc., when he single-handedly pushed to add retroactivity to the legislation. This guy has thrown us over a cliff and needs to step down immediately!
