Where did I say you were a draft *****? I simply quoted you saying that vacation was a BIG reason you came to Fedex. Any other implication is on you! And how is our vacation a benefit only made possible by higher pay rates?

All of block 1 and 2 were hired before 9/11, when our contract had rates lower than Delta. In January 2014, Delta had rates higher than ours. In November 2015, our rates went a little higher than theirs until January 2016, two months later. So, since a little more than half our crew force has been hired since Januray 2015, and for all but two months of that time, Delta had higher rates, the majority of our crew force was hired when we didn't have the highest rates. Unless, of course, you are suggesting that we hired as many pilots in those two months as we have in both blocks 1 and 2 combined. Notice that I am excluding those pilots hired after 9/11, even though Delta still had higher rates than us all the way until mid 2004.
