He is good at using the quote function but not at providing anything useful.

 

I've been told by the EAL guys that the NKAs they had were among the first to cross.

 

I thought ALPA was the solution when you voted it in. The fact is that you are seeing what I said 6-7 years ago.

I haven't been posting here very long but am already sick of this poster's dodging the issues, sidestepping legitimate questions, and smiley facing his non-answers with what some see as humor. Does this guy have anything important add here besides his constant whining about ALPA, our negotiating committee, and the age 60 issue? I sure haven't seen it if he does.

 

The troubling thing about Foxhunters diatribe is its (unknown) affect on the fence sitters and "faint of heart" type who are lurking on this website. If we come to a head to head confrontation with FedEx or even if it gets close to such, expect a full court press by the FedEx PR machine to mess with our heads. Don't under estimate these people, these are the best and brightest in (their) game and FedEx has been the master at manipulating public/press/employee opinion as long as I can remember. When it comes to a work action or the threat of such, much psychological game playing will be done by both the union and company. The company will try to divide us, make us question the resolve of our bothers and support of our (national) affiliation. FDX ALPA will work to buttress that cohesion and keep everyone on the same page, whatever that (and it will change as circumstances warrant) needs to be. Pilots aren't inclined to hand holding, "lets all watch each other back" type interaction with either their cohorts, friends, or even spouse (hence the divorce rate ) The Foxhunter out there, whether intentionally or just their MO, ******* with peoples heads regarding following a collective path. Just like the questions as to whether Foxhunter would walk if it came to it, I think its just in his makeup to keep us questioning. Don't expect Foxhunter to hold your hand in a work action, but I'd seriously doubt he'd defect. Why the head game, I don't know, but some people deal with others in that manner.
If you, as a union member, feel uncomfortable with the course of our unions direction, bring it to the attention of your LEC rep or other leadership reps. If your uncomfortable with collective bargaining with regards to your pay and benefits, get a job in corporate aviation and negotiate your own personal terms. Until than, be a part of the solution not the problem.

 

If you can't deal with me wait to see what management has planned for you! BTW, I just tried to drop a 14+ hr trip on the 19th, MAX OPEN 10, OPEN TRIPS 0=None, denied insuf rsvs.

 

The problem here is those who should be answering "NO" to every one of those questions find a way to rationize their sleaziness into a "yes".

 

When that happens to me, I pick up the phone and talk to a scheduler, ask them why that happens, and each time they've dropped it for me manually. But the answer when they call me on my days off is still always going to be NO until we have a new contract.

 

The answer is generally NO. He (Fox Hunter)complianed the same way about FPA before ALPA came back. Now he is spouting that we should have stayed FPA, for they were better than ALPA.

He is more a Pot stirrer than anything else. He prefers to argue............................you know like that old Monty Python skit........................"Is this the room for an Argument"

Argue for argument sake..........

 

Woa! One word.....DECAF
