If you think that what UPS does has no affect on Fedex, then why did so many of your pilots care what we were doing in our contract negotiations? Why even mention us in your contract convo thread?
You point to a TA (that got rejected) that was agreed to 5 months after Delta approved their contract, yet fail to point out that your ontract extension came 1+ years after Delts's January 2019 (negotiated in 2016) rate and you did not exceed it until the last part of 2022.
Im not sure why you are inserting yourself in this conversation, but the reality is the Teamsters are a big deal to UPS and national politics. I don’t necessarily see things the way our EB does with respect to trying simultaneously negotiate, but they made a judgment call and the majority (by a wide margin) backed their call. While I think we might have been able to do better, I do agree with Boiler that it’s not necessarily the most productive of rabbit holes. Unfortunately, for FedEx ALPA members your MEC made a poor judgement call that your membership rejected. With some hard work and time you will get your contract amended to where it should be and everyone (outside of FedEx and UPS management) wishes you well.
