Let's assume that we are indeed 500 pilots fat. Some people speculate 300 to 500 so let's go with the bigger number.

500 (pilots) X 884 (yearly basic BLG) = 442,000 pay hours

442,000/12 (mos) = 36833/ hours per month

36833/4776(pilots) = 7.71 BLG reduction from each pilot to prevent a furlough.

We'll see if the all the members will ride this one out with the junior guys or will they simply write a LOA to kill that little paragraph in the CBA.

Only time will tell if the FedEx motto really is "It's all about me" or "united we stand one and all".
