Default Fed Up!

I'm generally a reasonable man, with a high tolerance for irritation; But the frustration level is beginning to become intolerable.

Why does it seem that everything the company does is an attempt to make our jobs harder than easier?

Unilateral changes to deviation policies, accepted fares, scheduling practices, and now how we log on to the website. Are they intentionally trying to build ill will amongst the pilot group or just an unattended consequence of a culture bent on tightening up?

I just want to do my job. I don't want to pay out of pocket for the privilege or be unreasonably inconvenienced to do so. Fed Ex, please quit screwing with me!!!

If it's too much for you to handle, feel free to step down and let someone else take your spot.

Nothing like the gladiator perspective to keep us complainers in line.

This is why it's good to have union representation.

Yo dude.

You need to update your sig on how you voted on the last TA.

I'm guessing it's 32%

Once the NPRM equation is solved, we will get to stuff like this. Riiiight. Although, I'm not sure anyone saw this one coming, this type stuff (ankle biting, QOL shi ite) could have been worked through the last TA, as it has nothing to do with rest.

Dude! For a second, I thought you worked at UPS. According to our guys, FedEx is unicorns and lollipops!
