Management pilots at FedEx are stooges for management. They come from the line, get higher pay (a lot), do anything and everything management demands they do, maintain their seniority number, have very little power to help line pilots when someone needs help or guidance with a corporate shoe clerk who's messing with a line pilot (expense report audit department), are too quick to discipline pilots when management demands action, use discipline to punish union participation (captains who refused non-pilot jumpseaters in the cockpit) but fail to use it on pilots who deseve it (Dick Cotton), and are sent back to the line when they side with a line pilot.

Guess you know which side of the fence I'm on.
