I mean, here on the Internet I read over and over that you never take the first offer. So, if the TA has a modification to our Pension to a PSPP style plan, and it's a change that's overwhelmingly rejected by FedEx Pilots....isn't that a Good thing?
I mean, 5 years ago Delta's MEC wanted to shift compensation away from relying on Profit Sharing in exchange for higher pay rates and delivered a TA to do so. And modifying the Profit Sharing formula was overwhelmingly rejected by the Pilots and that TA was voted down, and the NC\etc replaced and a new TA was reached.
And wasn't that a good thing?
Personally, I think the idea behind never taking the first deal is humorous. If Our NC was taking the first deal, well, we'd be voting on a TA next month.
