It's amazing FDX ALPA is willing to entertain the idea of screwing over the vast majority of the pilot group by allowing @ 200 over 60 F/E's to retrain in the front seat - thus, delaying an F/O's upgrade an additional 1-2 years - great, now we'll get delayed a total @ 6 or 7 years - NO THANKS.

Has anyone looked into recalling the MEC and any block rep supporting this?

Where'd you pull this out of? This is contrary to anything that has ever been published.

Well, that was helpful. :(

The seniority system is not getting modified, just your expectations. Do you really expect the union to negate the contract seniority rights of it's senior members?

What everyone here needs to do is contact every union member they know and ask them to contact their rep as well as the entire MEC with their feelings. The SPC chair may be a good guy to vent to but you will get more results with a mass campaign demanding a vote on these issues. If that is ignored then recalls need to be looked at very seriously. Venting here is good but get the word out fast and let's tell the MEC there is a strong majority that will not allow this to go unchecked. That's just one reason we pay our dues.

"The bottom line is that the guys that went back to the S/O seat never gave up their seniority"

"Sorry Mark, but one senior official is reported to have said that FedEx intends to return any S/O to their former position when the regulated age changes if the has been out of the front seat for less than 24 months."

So MGP, wouldn't those who have been gone more than 2 years have their seniority rights taken away? You don't seem to be too upset about that..

That is an issue that I expect ALPA to address. The company has the right not to train within a time period before the "Regulated Age". Since that age is changing from age 60 to 65 they might have the right not to return them to the left or right seat but they should be pay protected. Do you agree Dawg?

FALSE! ......

Sorry Mark, it is true.

Proof? Documentation?:rolleyes:
