FDXLAG is correct. We, as a pilot group, are not responsible for pilot hiring, manning, or furloughing. Regardless of what we do to ourselves, when the time comes the company will furlough.

That being said, we should expect and demand that the company abide by the terms of the contract. 68/85. When they think they can run an airline at 48/60, then we talk about mitigation. Good times or bad, management should fly the contract just like us.

Right or wrong, the easiest place for management to find money is from its people. UAL, AMR, DAL, NWA has proved this over and over. Lets not let FDX do the same thing.
