I'm not going to get on here and lie about not picking up M/U, VLT or DRF, etc., as we all know many crew members pick up extra trips but dare not say they do, so if none of you agree with me then so be it. Remember, there's a recession going on ... not just within the airline industry but also with the auto industries, housing markets and many other unfortunates. I feel fortunate to have a job because many of those folks don't. And during these dire times, there is no way I'm going to start bashing FedEx - all in all it's still a good company to work for. As for ALPA helping us out, well ... 'nuf said. Good luck to all of us and the other workers at FedEx.
