DL,

By the time the teamsters could organize here I'd long since be back on the line. I'll be just another guy waiting for the bus at the AOC in a couple years... Your comments were a good caution, but right now the same teamsters are working hard to strip off every ALPA carrier they can and further weaken our National strength. We need to work together on the issues that affect us all, but it sure seems like to this union newbie they are promising the moon and stars to any carriers that are disgruntled in order to build their own union up. I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed but it is irritating to me to have someone shake my hand for unity while they silently motion for others to leave our side whenever they can.

If others at FDX unionize, of course we'll support them. We'll have to or it just won't work for any of us. That aside, I think one of the greatest problems in American business is the "CEO passing through" type leadership vice the leaders who take ownership. (Fred Smith, Jack Welch, Steven Jobs, Bill Gates (ret), etc) I'll dance with who brung me...thanks...
