IDK, maybe our new union leaders will be different, but even so, it’s going to take considerable effort to stand up for what we deserve when far too many in the ranks prefer negotiating on their knees.
Too many people on our seniority list getting good deals in cushy office/management/flight test jobs that only care about hourly rate and retirement. They also seem to be the vocal intimidators who are trying to get everyone else to accept a contract that gives away their work rules/career progression/career aspirations/etc. I'm sure they're expecting to be rewarded for their fealty with a promotion or even cushier assignment. It's career suicide for one of them to admit that TA1.0 was not a good deal for the majority of FedEx pilots.
