An excellent synopsis of our current situation. I've been repeating much of the same stuff for nearly two years. There's not a single solitary good reason to vote yes for this.

His assessment of the public statements made from the C-suite are spot on. HIs assessment of the economic environment is also something I agree with and have stated here.

If Jerome hadn't taken the punchbowl away we wouldn't even be hinting at recession. US has the best economic fundamentals on the planet. Fedex Customers have stockpiles of inventory due to covid supply chain congestion. They will work through them and volumes will return. Fedex intends to have a much leaner operation when they do.

But here we are scared pilots about to be willing to give away their labor in the best market for pilot labor in a generation. The fact that some of you come on this board and repeatedly support provisions that are clearly concessionary givaways and then have the audacity to argue with people about it is mind numbing. There's nothing wrong with APC or social media. The problem is it prevents your leadership from controlling the message and the information. That's what the roadshows are for. They want to convince you that their option is THE option. Anything else would be unconscionable or not worth the effort.

It is them not the dissenters on APC and Jetflyers that are the problem. You should heed the warnings. This is an absolute replay of 2015. Go back and read the threads. You'll see the same players making the same arguments. 53%-47% thats what that got us. I've been doing what I can to alert and persuade. Ultimately its up to US. But I don't think we should settle for less because Pat May says so.
