cargo pilot "Unity" myth
We cargo pilots love talking tough about our Unity. But the reality is that for every 5 Team Players, we have 5 Individualists. That's a fact everyone likes to dance around. Unless a truly compelling force drops everyone's jaw in outrage, like a furlough announcement or an attempt to take our pension away, there's just not enough incentive for the average line pilot to join hands with the Bolshevik wing of the union. So the next time I hear about 100% unity at UPS or Fedex, I think I'm gonna unfold a sick bag.

Where would you like me to send that sick bag?

I'm not at Fedex, Tony.
You Fedex av8ers now have more unity than we do at UPS. Sad to admit it. Still, I think there are as many individualists at FDX as at UPS, not to mention the many former scabs you have, which is the point in my post. Unity in 2006 is a joke. Your getting a contract has everything to do with our T/A and nothing to do with your actions out on the line.

Merely my opinion.

As tempting as it may be, I'm going to resist the urge to return your attempt at a potshot with a volley of corresponding negativity. We're focusing on the postive here - - and it's working.
And we really appreaciate the support we're getting from the majority of our brothers at UPS.
