Can you not give us a little credit? Why did we get an end rate of almost 150 an hour for second year guys when it didn't help any of us, or any of you? That was a rhetorical question. I know that some of you are heading for the doors but when it comes to 2016 and beyond, the panic is way to early
100% IPA

It was the collective "us". You're right that we have come a long way and I'd like to think that it isn't as much of a majority rule situation as it is a one for all and all for one type. Just remember that the #1 seniority guy on our list had nothing to immediately gain by turning down a JA yesterday

Come on. We talk a good game but in reality 30% of us couldn't even be bothered to participate in the MOU and 20% participated minimally. Now we have a President elected with 33% of the vote fulfilling his promise of attempting to bring over the FQS's and offering date of hire. Sorry we did not vote on that. Keeping one guy on the street one day longer than he should be to integrate the supervisors is BS.

ZERO of the Spartans were legal to vote on that bonus, FYI. Nice hand grenade, though...

I can take a furlough to protect to our contract, in fact I prefer it to giving money to billionaires, but the thought that my wife and kids may be on the street to protect the date of hire for "managers", many of whom despise the working union pilot, makes me sick.
It going to be an interesting year with a lot of twists and turns....at the end, i will be 100% something......that is for sure. I hope its 100% IPA.

On the flipside, FedEx Alpa just signed an agreement to exit the 4a2b language. It isn't because Fred is playing nice. Volumes are stabilized. Demand is slowly and steadily growing. Check the market reports of our competitors and UPS own financials. 7 years is not supported by current metrics. It is supported by biased metrics and agendas that support fear and distrust of the IPA.
