If you can wrap your head around that and the intent of what they are trying, it makes a lot of sense.
Beating a dead horse on this, but the message does not seem to be getting through to some.
Nope. I think
YOU misunderstand. I think I speak for most dissenters, when I say that we understand completely that this is a bridge contract. Sounds like a great idea, if it's not possible to negotiate a complete contract now. But, if we're going to give the company what they need, then put something in it that is of equal and lasting value to
all FDX pilots. Like, maybe a real fix to 4A2b, or something along those lines. The idea of getting 3% now, instead of later, just doesn't do it.
