There is no way, no how that FedEx would let that mail contract go. Period. End of discussion. It is the reason that the domestic system is even close to being viable.

Exactly, focus on the reality. FedEx is making a fortune. Let's not get wrapped aroung the axle about things that could but probably won't happen. We could have a nuclear war and all get wiped out too. FedEx is doing just fine and it is time for us to stop worrying about the sky falling and keep our attention focused on getting a contract.

Ummm... and if the FAA were to ground all the 727s tonight...

... or if for some reason all the tails fell off all the Airbi this afternoon...


... or if a massive earthquake along the New Madrid caused the Mississippi River to flow backwards for 36 hours ...




What does that have to do with jack's claim that "there is no way in the world the govt. is going to let FedEx strike"?!?!?!?




I agree with FR8Hauler - - time to focus!


TWO YEARS IS TOO LONG ! ! !

Post NEWSFLASH: Conspiracy Theorists Abound in Aviation Community

Irrational worrying about events, circumstances, and possibilities outside of our control is WASTED ENERGY!

If only the average line pilot would say to himself/herself,
"I am going to do whatever I can to make the negotiating process work. I can continue to gain knowledge, stay commited, and trust the Negotiating Committee. I'll give the company 100% effort (no more and no less) ... that will be my contribution from now until the new contract arrives (followed by that retro pay direct deposit!)."
Don't forget to apply the "Does That Make ANY Logical Sense" test when faced with "jack"-style postings here or That-Other-Jack's communications via VIPS.

Pass the word about forums like this, ask your crew if they get the JetFlyer e-mails, explore the FedEx ALPA website, and KILL THE STUPID RUMORS before they spread....

It seems that the Jetflyer emails come out a lot less frequently than last time around. I, for one, would like to see them a little more often.

Steve is getting old and must be wearing out

I know he didn't waste a damn second to drop me off the E-mail list . . about the day after I retired. Pi$$ed me off, because I didn't stop being interested and concerned about how things on The Plantation were going. And it doesn't cost him a nickle to keep someone on the E-mail list.

Two years is TOO DAMN LONG!

We are not in competition with UPS pilots. Their battle is our battle too. The more they make, the more you are going to make. I have a problem with the slight friction I've seen with our unions. I have much more in common with a UPS pilot than I do Cheever and Bronzach and that vice president who questioned our integrety and professionalism. EVERYONE in managment sees us as a whinning overpaid cost center to be cut. Don't let them divide us from our brothers in the air. We have much more power working together. I hope our leaders in our unions can figure this out.
