If that's true they surely could generate another side letter specifying that. Would make this deal a whole lot less controversial.
Let them have the flex guys go there. And pay them TAFB rig and 8 days travel time. And, draft if they have to.

Many folks do NOT Know that the Company can already FORCE you to another Base (non FDA) for 30 days and they don't have to pay you Trip rig when they do.


Redeye, you seem to have not picked up on the apples and oranges remark concerning one of your previous posts.

This LOA IS for FDA's, not domestic. Therefore, your words....non FDA... have nothing to do with this discussion concerning STV with respect to FDA's. Do you understand that?

I voted “yes”. DW and BC are not the kneeling supplicants they are being made out to be. I believe that they have a “strategy” and signing off on this LOA is a “tactic” to achieve their and our goals.
Commence firing.

Tactic?

Kind of like the French Maginot line? When the other side shows up for a negotiation/fight you don't accept the others sides first offer...that's capitulation..IMO

I'll take the bet Check 6.

My poll around AOC, crew bus, etc. is: 11 voted YES and 3 voted NO

I think it is going to be 63% for and 37% against.

If it was really close, management would have sent an email today, but did not. It is going to pass.

Now, anyone want to take the over/under on the number of FDA pilots FDX will have within the next 3 years? I'll start with 1,000 (20% of the seniority list).

At this price they can afford 2500 (50% of the senority list). A better bet is how many current MEC members or NC members will be there? Over/under of 1 or .5?
