You can partly blame ALPA, goarmy, at least on compensation. How?

Talking to our finance guys, our agreed to top hourly rate in 2006 was $235 neighborhood, but once ALPA publicly undercut our already agreed to 235 last year, our mediator forced us lower. So without even looking at the passenger carriers, ALPA FedEx undercut hourly rates and can be directly blamed for our weak top hourly rates.
