Despite what you think, one can offer sincere condolences and sincere compassion and still have a discussion about other urgent affairs too, in fact it would be irresponsible if they didn’t effectively manage both in parallel. UPS pilots are having the same discussions about draft as FedEx pilots are having here.

UPS and FedEx pilots are in the same boat here. Friends and peers were lost in a tragic accident and now both companies are in sincere need of their pilot groups to step up to save their operation but won’t make moves to pay industry standard wages with work rule improvements. It is not “disgusting” to remind your coworkers of that, nor is it disgusting to remind them of the fact that the hull loss rate at these two companies far exceeds those of the passenger world, something that needs to be drastically improved.
