From the mouth (smartphone) of this FedEx pilot:
Welcome to ALPA! I just read the letter from the ALPA president he sent to all of us ALPA members welcoming you aboard. I only see strength in increasing the membership in order to have a louder voice and more influence with government entities that affect our collective QOL. I hope that this decision to join ALPA will help you since it does help us all. I believe that ALPA’s strength comes from its members (leaders) and pilots either getting involved or staying informed.
By the way, I don’t believe that your contract is a drag. Not because it’s I feel it’s a good (I don’t know anything about your contract), but because it’s a different business model. And even if it was, being a member of ALPA wouldn’t change that. Hopefully, companies, (FedEx included) will quickly realize the pilot pay shortage and start to improve contracts by necessity.

thank you
I wish those that never have a good word for us would find something else to do

I've got to admit I AM going to miss the Teamster magazine. I so enjoyed the back section summarizing all of the legal proceedings against the members with mob ties, members who were embezzling money from their locals, etc etc etc.
