But I also have friends at SWA, that come out of the School House like Robots. They were hard core strike at the drop of a hat individuals, but come out cheering about SWA daily. Weak-
We'll never get significant gains in our Contracts with this kind of thinking. (SWA). Just like FDX did last time. Took our contract and basicially matched it. Should be interesting this time around since they go first.
This guy accused FedEx pilots of being willing to do anything for FS due to their love/worship of him.....

In general; when the organization wins, the employees win. It's called a symbiotic relationship. At least, the FedEx and Southwest employees are able to differentiate from relations with middle-management and the role of a CEO.
You are too jaded to see that there is a difference between a CEO who takes a job and a CEO who takes ownership and pride in his creation.
Offended FedEx pilot (who, evidently does love/worship FS) tried to blame the "disdain and abuse all pilots" nature and actions on "middle management" - and gave FS a pass on his actions (past, present, and future) as all being what's "best for the organization as a whole"
forgetting some of FS's actions (specifically towards the pilots) in the past that contradict this feeling of love and admiration.

you're right......it was FedEx's "middle managers" who signed and sent out those red letters back when.....right?
Fred Smith would never do something like that to his beloved employees.
I step in to attempt to remind said FedEx pilot (and others who might harbor the same love/worship for FS) of FS's past "indiscretions"
using sarcasm, I state - it was the "middle managers" and not FS who wrote the red letters.....and FS "would never", when in fact it WAS FS who was the author of said red letters.....
starting to gel for ya now?

Just because you don't admire some of his actions does not mean you don't think the guy is worth every penny he votes himself. While I would not wipe his ____, I would definitely offer him a pint of blood if it helped keep his ____ in the CEO chair.
I'm not in the FS _____ - wiping camp. No.
I think those who are (and, as Commando said, there are a LOT of them at FedEx - A LOT!!) tend to forget about the past and FS's disdain for the pilots due to the overall success of the company (red letter days.)
I would neither wipe his ____ nor offer him a pint of my blood.
How you got that from what I posted, I don't know.
Also....not very becoming to profess in a public forum so much love for another man (not a blood relative) that you would give your life blood for him.....what's up with that??!!
I think that's exactly the mentality that Commando was describing.
