I also don't believe that any crewmember who gets sick from this virus should have to burn sick bank; more like workman's comp. I realize it doesn't really matter what I think, but I do believe that ALPA should be pushing that option. I hope Diablo (DJ) is working that one.
I believe that Meatloaf is referring to the Hong Kong Housing Allowance witch hunt that went down almost a decade ago. It wasn't pretty. It would be a benefit to all of our brothers and sisters who have recently been hired here, to know of some of the more noteworthy "engagements" between our association and FedEx Express Flight Operations management over the course of our company's history. We should all do our part to "tell the story" on the line. I know I am certainly not aware of every "event" that has transpired here over the years and could do with a little more "education" myself!
