I’m a 6 year 76 fo, soon to be 7. I interviewed at AA in January and my class date is in sept. I’d been looking for a reason to stay since January but at every turn i keep getting pushed to leave. I have heard of guys with 10 years under their belt looking to leave. Everyone I talked to who left said it was a great decision and everyone I have spoken with still here says if they were in my shoes they would be on their way out. Even been told this by a union rep.
We are going to be in 4a2c for at least another 9 months and wouldn’t surprise me if it’s a year. With the 20% pay cut this year that I’m taking 1st year pay at AA wouldn’t even be that big of a reduction and I’ll be taking home as much or more on 2nd year pay than I will at fedex on 8 year pay. Seniority is supposed to get you a better schedule and more money. Both of those things have been taken from us. I sent you a PM, give me a shout. That also goes to anyone else with this issue. I have 2 kids so I understand how hard a decision it is. I’ll write anyone a letter a rec if you want as well.
