Nice fear mongering. But in what way is voting for the TA voting to eliminate your job? Many here keep saying the scope change is going to result in lost jobs, how? Have any of you read 4.A.2.b? Many here want to promote that as soon as the TA is signed, the company is going to lay off pilots. Absolutely not true. If the System Wide Average Metric (SAM) has fallen below 64/80/96 CH for two consecutive bid periods, notwithstanding the application of Section 4 .A .2 .b ., the minimum bid period guarantee shall be reduced to a minimum of 54/68/81 CH . For the bid periods during which Section 4 .A .2 .c . is implemented, unless otherwise agreed to by the Association, the following shall apply: ...see the current contract for the rest.

Before there are any furloughs or even 4.A.2.b, the flying basically across the fleet has to be at a level described above. The company can not just wet lease and then furlough. Tony C said the company can do this which is technically correct but events have to happen to reduce FedEx flying to invoke 4.A.2.b.

The company is committed to the fleet plan thats been around for at least a year and was affirmed again in the recent company business update by JB. The company didn't do mass hiring the last 3 years with the plan to do mass layoffs as soon as a new contract is signed.

And Pat and the NC have not negotiated for over two years with a TA that is going to result in lost jobs. If anyone doesn't think the NC and the MEC looked into the contractual language on Scope, you are wrong.

Scope is important and if that is a basis for a NO vote, great. But posting fear about soon to be mass layoff and career killing is total BS.
