I prefer not to be called

Haven't heard a peep--has anyone else changed their option since 31Dec? I had an amazing New Year's Revelation that turned into a Resolution. I pledged to do all I legally can, within the RLRA and CBA, to help my fellow FedEx pilots, especially those lowest on the list. I sleep very well at night.

I'm glad nobody is flying extra, but... We need to remember that we wouldn't be in this mess if it wasn't for DW and his personal retro clause. Get JL and his retro buddies to retire and the problem is solved.

Haven't been called in 8 years, since I marked the "Do not call option" in VIPS. Of course I had a problem getting dates in high school, not aware I ever checked the "do not date" option. Hmmm...

If he doesn't take the draft the plane doesn't move and we all lose. He didn't get it out of open time before it went to the reserves.

Concur...

My point wasn't to dime anyone out...my point was to show we might not be quite as overmanned as we are being led to believe.

I can't wait to see next month. Reserve lines are even less.

I don't have the contract in front of me, but if we furlough, doesn't DFT & VLT goes bye-bye?

In just this thread alone, we have 4 planes not moving unless they DFT.

VLT goes away and the company cannot 'intend' to fill the schedule with draft to prevent a recall

another ironclad clause

727memphis, Sometimes that is the only thing the company understands. It gets the attention from up high on why a plane did not move. Look at the past when the MD11 FO's did not fly extra and they had to stop moving planes. We got a contract pretty fast. If they can keep moving planes by drafting guys do you think the senior management cares as much? Sure it is a $ to the company which I do not like, but I do not like it either when the company plays hard ball to the detriment of the pilot group and the company just to make a point.
