So how long do you think before this article gets posted as "News Updated" on pilot.fedex.com or under the contract administration link?

Don't worry, we have a couple FedExer's posting here that will tell you that any offer the company puts out is more than (we) deserve.

What the "company spokesman" also failed to mention is that the total raise is 15% over FIVE years...that's 3% per year...less than most annual estimates of inflation...

Also...like Nightflyer posted, for an "average" wide-body F/O, the company proposed increases in monthly healthcare premiums negate the entire first year raise, and then some.

In fact, folks with my seniority will be paying back more TO THE COMPANY than our entire first year "raise" to have family healthcare. So we'll be making "concessionary" payments to enjoy the EXACT SAME healthcare benefits we do with our current contract.

Sad, sad, sad, for a company that is making over a billion dollars PROFIT a year.

Just say "NO..."

Stay the course folks.

I'm not saying to take a bad offer, but whatever you do, settle before the limp dicks at UPS get a deal. Hate to say it, but ours is going to end up dragging yours down

Okay ... I'LL SAY IT.

Do not take a bad offer, do not even ponder another direct offer, do not forget the cornerstone issues, do not, for a single second, consider any proposal that doesn't come via the Negotiating Committee.

Indeed, stay the course and be an active participant in the process ... the true good faith bargaining process!

This is about business ... business at FedEx, not UPS, not Delta, not Southwest ... just business here at our very own extremely successful corporation.

Where is my money? I never made $176 in the right seat of the MD11 and I'm not on track to make that much in the left seat of the light twin Airbus. I guess most folks don't support the union efforts and work extra to make that much money. In 11 years I've never made average pay. WTF is up with that? If everyone would just do their job for one month we'd all get a raise with a new contract. Like all pilots we are our own worst enemy. I gusee we tend to look at the trees (give me mine) and miss the forest (best for all).
stop whining...beamerboy...looks like u have some extra flying on your line this month...what's up with that????????
