That was better than reading the Funnies.

Does the company have one of those they read before bedtime?

And last time I checked, I'm the one paying for ALPA, which means I'll decide what code, if any, I'll follow.

Go get em' Josey Wales. AFW's comments last week ring true.

Hey Purple...I don't think any of us want the Flexes to quit. :o

Not true. more guys than normal are asking to got to te line in february than normal, though.

Maybe, they meant next Thursday?:rolleyes:

ALPA code of ethics; the code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules.

Everyone needs to print the FCIF, stick it in their locker. And for as long as you are here pull it out and remember how the company will sc**w you with out the courtesy of a reach around. FedEx managment is bringing back unity in ALPA even if DW is our sorry MEC Chmn.

Those were the days...

any insight into the rumor about the bus flex guys? if the march numbers are down?

Just a clarification:

FLEX guys bid PAY only, so unless they are junior, most bid highest paying line and are compensated the line value of the pay only line they held. Those that are junior will be stuck with RLG or even a LOWER paying line under the current 4.A.2.B fiasco. I saw some regular lines that paid BELOW RLG in my seat. The flex guy who gets that is even worse off than a Reserve line holder, same number of days for even LESS pay !

What lower RLG does do is affect the extra days worked and that is a factor to all in the school house.

I agree. A flex guy will still have to work 15 days to get that Pay Only BLG, where a guy actually holding the line might work 9 to 10 days. That sucks worse than a Rsv line, where the pilot probably won't work every day, and may even get a couple days dropped with pay for "1 in 7," depending on how his Rsv line is built.
