Of course, there's not much going on right now at FedEx. So, I can see why people wouldn't be interested.
And, of course, our leaders don't listen to us. Especially these 3. Seeing as we recently elected them, with the hope of regaining control of our MEC.
I know, I know. We're commuters. And, it's hard to get to MEM, just for a union meeting. And, the other 40%(600+), that live in MEM? I guess they're just too busy to make it. And getting from the hub, on a turn, to a meeting is nearly impossible.
It would be funny, if it wasn't so sad. We all "talk the talk"...But most, definitely can't "walk the walk". We biatch and moan about our leadership, or lack thereof. And, then turn around and show absolutely no interest in being part of the process.
Pathetic.
Classic ALPA rhetoric: blame it all on the apathy of the workforce.
Heres a newsflash for you Bus: ALPA doesn't really want anybody at those meetings. Its much easier to get done and back on the golf course if there aren't all those pesky line pilots around to ask questions like why did you sell us out and how come the LOA is such a POS.
Pathetic is right.
