Thumbs up Good showing

Wish the rally had started earlier. Two o' clock meant those of us that needed to fly out had to leave just as it was getting started. I believe the turnout was a big relief to D. Webb and team. Attaboy to the MEM families who took the time, brought their families (did see a bunch of bored teenagers in the foyer) and showed their support for their union's leadership. let hope it translates into progress.

Two years is too long! Especially considering the profits FedEx is raking in.

Unoffical estimate was at the 1000 person mark............................

Not too shabby from a 4700ish pilot group where at any one time 2000 folks are working and another 550 are either just staring to go or have just finished up.................................


Actions speak louder than words............................................
everyone needs to perform just 100% until we get a contract...........................

Not only was the large turnout a relief to Webb, Huggins, Baker, Chimenti (and his cohorts), Reed and Gandy ... every other ALPA Committee "worker bee" got a fresh shot of adrenaline when that many pilots, spouses, kids and friends came out of the woodwork to shout,

"TWO YEARS IS LONG ENOUGH ... FEDEX HAS FAILED TO DELIVER ... WE'RE READY FOR THE CONTRACT WE'VE EARNED!"

Concur completely. I don't need to be "told what to do." I can see the writing on the wall for myself -- I'LL GO ABOVE AND BEYOND AGAIN *ONLY* WHEN MANAGEMENT PROFFERS A LEGITIMATE DEAL VIA THE NEGOTIATING COMMITTEE. I've made my choice: No draft, no volunteer, no vacation buy-back, no more and no less than 100.0% until we have a new contract!!

BZ to the rally attendees and organizers!
