None of the actions by the company lately has passed the smell test what so ever. I mean seriously...a possible 30% cut in pay For the entire FedEx company the pilots make up LESS THAN 2% OF ALL EMPLOYEES! (4,700 / 250,000 = 0.0188)

I don't mind doing my part and helping the company cut costs and save money, which I believe WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN DOING! Don't get fooled by all the smoke and mirrors BS, we are still making money.

Hopefully we can collectively rally behind the MEC and show some unity. Also, it might be time to re-evaluate a few other personal things as well...

Do I need to be accepting any Draft trips now?
Do I need to be picking up any extra trips right now?
If I bid a carryover trip, PROTECT min days the following month.

Please think twice before hitting that "Submit" button because ALL of these things affect manning and whether or not the company can justify invoking section 4.A.2.b. Fire away!
