Like the previous poster stated, who really cares about the national president. It makes very little difference. What makes a much larger difference is our unity as a pilot group locally at FDX. We have failed. Let’s spend more time critiquing ourselves. Most of our pilots are self serving me first individuals. This leads to very little bargaining pressure and contracts that are less than they should be. This is due to no leverage applied by us pilots. We had a huge opportunity over the last 18 months and most chose to be self serving.
