My question is: will those high earning FOs still out earn 75 CAP while under 4a2b? What about 4a2c?
Slightly off topic: I didn’t like the union using average earnings for their TA compensation slides—especially while telling us we’re overmanned. I’d much prefer comparing earnings using min guarantee. To me that’s important because it seems that’s what many of us will be living on going forward.
You are predicting a prolonged economic downturn I think. Serious question: How do you square that with the "They can afford to pay us a whole lot more than PM Negotiated" sentiment. FedEx has long been a Bellwether and has often made moves before the rest of US Industry, for ups and downs which is one reason we've never furloughed. I'm not attempting to play "gotcha" and put words in your mouth...I'm trying to get a feel for your sense of the prolonged outlook. If we are in a "batten down the hatches" mode.....would it be better to take improved payrates while things are lean (Lower BLG's) and re-attack in 2027-2028?
