The new system sucks no matter how much you spin it. C2015 was a HUGE step backwards in quality of life for FedEx pilots. We need new pilots and those older pilots who get it, to stand up to guys like you and Kronan. You guys keep talking about how great the lipstick on the pig is. It's still a pig! And the regional pilots we've hired, thank God for them, THEY GET IT! When Regional FOs tell me they had it better at their airline except for pay, you know we have a lot of stuff in our contract that needs fixed. The problem is too many pilots accept these problems, or worse are military only and just don't know any different, and they'll use the high pay and no flight attendants/passengers as an excuse to have really bad language and quality of life problems in our contract. That's not smart!
It is time. Not tomorrow. Not next week. NOW IS THE TIME. WE'VE EARNED IT. WE FLEW DURING COVID. WE GOT SICK. OUR FAMILY MEMBERS GOT SICK. THREE PILOTS DIED. WE'VE EARNED IT!!!! THE TIME IS NOW TO UNITE AND TO STAND TOGETHER!!!!
