Let them furlough, or at least try it. They'd announce it and then realize the training costs of bringing everyone back would be more than what it was worth, and take too long.
ASL was part of the deal with TNT. It existed before you chose FedEx as your best. Nobody yet has shown that we’ve lost flying in Europe to ASL. IMO, we significantly increased flying because we took/leased their three TNT B777s and we no longer task their 747s … our 777s picked up those routes. You probably weren’t around to see TNT 747s using FedEx call signs. Nor were you around to hear about the donnybrooks between TNT-ASL and FDX crews in CDG when the Europeans found out Americans were taking their jobs. Your account of what’s happened is widely inaccurate. The 737s in FedEx livery happened in 2017. They were TNT livery birds before at LGG. The sky isn’t falling. Yes, we need to address scope after this contract.
You’re wrong. The company, specifically Brie Carere EVP and Chief Customer Officer of FedEx, said in earnings calls during COVID that they were
trying to get long term deals with new customers. Whether they screwed up who knows? Demand for package delivery fell for ALL cargo operators not just FedEx in 2022. Amazon closed warehouses. UPS is parking MD-11a. And no the union didn’t promise anything about 7 year deals. If anything they just repeated what the company said. The union is not told any information about the business model except for what they hear publicly.
Again, lies and half truths with you. You are not a victim.
Let the record forever show that you’re whining about your perception that older pilots are ignoring the scope issue at the risk of your career, but you have no problem with deleting 4A2 and furloughing junior pilots.
You’ve got yours, right 3-18?
