By the way what kind of retro did your FedEx ALPA get? $30,450 max for Captains and $19,950 for FOs. Just for comparison that means AA will have plenty on NB FOs who will get more in retro than your highest paid WB Captain.
No profit sharing, 14% raise DOS, as low as 8:30 layovers (yikes, great QOL), no scope enhancements. But hey, tell us about your pension. I’ll take my 18% DC over your pension and pathetic TA any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
1) FedEx, and as far as I'm aware, also American have yet to vote on these TAs, so what they are able to achieve fully remains to be seen.
2) FedEx and Delta have completely separate MECs, and therefore negotiate independently. It is a common misconception that ALPA will create better or worse negotiators due to international's resources. It is incumbent on the pilot groups to elect their MECs to set a direction for their negotiators. ALPA does have some helpful resources like costing or lawyers but they are not the main driving force.
3) I understand some Delta folks have been upset about AA not producing a snap up for us and given you grief. Having said that it's in poor taste to come on here trashing ALPA over FedEx's TA when it was Delta's TA that gave APA such obvious leverage in your ability to pattern bargain.
