[QUOTE=Sniper;938745] Getting COLA while negotiating for the typical years it takes to get a new CBA would be great for not only the FedEx pilots, but for all pilot groups who lose out to the CPI every time their contract becomes amendable.
If most guys are thinking like this, then we are doomed. We will give up every ounce of leverage to get 3% now.(which we would get as a signing bonus later anyway). I would liken it to interest base bargaining(smoke) and cost neutral(mirrors). I don't think you could set the bar any lower and I don't think our team has. We'll see next week!
