Having been at UAL for 4+ years & fedex for 4+ years, being junior on reserve at FDX QoL is inferior due to the reserve scheduling & utilization rules. I've written the negotiating committee on improvements based on leading industry reserve scheduling & utilization contractual agreements- so no need to post them here.

Am I glad to be here, Yes! Is the overall compensation & QoL when senior better- yes! But we should not delude ourselves that just because we're FDX, that our fleet/seat junior pilots QoL is "ok", and that we don't need to expend efforts in the next contract to improve it. Legacy carriers, even thru the BK process, have some cost neutral improvements that make being junior on R-days a bit less painful than FDX.
