Wouldnt you have liked to have been the last Delta guy to get the 50% buyout? How do I know what FDX will look like in 15 years. I do know there will be less A Plans then there are now, union or not.
You too ... fudgestick!

"Bought out"
What a CLEVER use of words! Another politician's technique brought to you by FDXLAG! Heh heh!
You something- you ought to try stand-up sometime, you're so funny! NOW, do me a favor and walk up to a United or Delta guy and ask how he feels about the way his A plan was "bought".
Just like the way you REFUSE to accept the same treatment that many teachers and other public employees [thus destroying what little credibility you still had around here~] are being FORCED (not "bought") to accept, you now want to tell all those pilots who had money STOLEN right out of their pockets....that they were in some way shape or form "compensated".
In the end, I guess in your mind, its "All about you". You want everyone else to sacrifice, but you aren't willing to do it yourself. Sure am glad you were never my wing-man!
Have a great evening...donut hole!
